Weaving Sea and Wind is a documentary about the First Indigenous Cinema Workshop in Mexico, which was taught to women from the community of San Mateo del Mar, Oaxaca.

The short film portrays the everyday life of San Mateo del Mar through the story of a family of fishermen, weavers, and merchants in a narrative that blends documentary and fiction. The film thus captures, from the perspective of its members—and specifically through a young female lens—various aspects of the Ikoots people's society and culture, as well as how they wished to document and share them with the outside world.
