Caballerango (Horse Wrangler) is a 2018

Cannes Critics' Week short, "¿Por qué el recuerdo?" ("The Solitude of Memory"), previously broached.[5] It displays dimensions of slow cinema and includes only 37 shots across its 62-minute duration.[6]

The film's production occurred between 2013 and 2017,[7] and it received support from the Sundance Institute, the Ford Foundation,[8] the Austin Film Society,[9] and the California Institute of the Arts, where González is a professor.[10]

Reception

The film premiered in IDFA's Luminous section in 2018.[11] It then screened at numerous other festivals, including True/False,[12] Full Frame,[13] and Camden,[14] winning Guadalajara's Best Jalisco Film Award, Tacoma's Best Documentary and Best Cinematography Awards, and Dallas's Special Grand Jury Award. González went on to receive the Vilcek Foundation's 2021 Prize for Creative Promise in Filmmaking in part for his work on Caballerango.[15]

The film received a warm critical response.

Indiewire called the film a "must-see"[19] and characterized it as an "evocatively spare, slow-burn documentary spellbinder."[20] Remezcla also included Caballerango on its "must-see" list.[21]
