THE FILMS:

DespedidaDirected by Marcia Beatriz Granero | BrazilJaque Jolene, a character who embodies celebrity and decadence, gets ready for a new beginning in this video. Without losing the glamour, provided by the technology of psychotropic drugs and cosmetics, she says goodbye to an old phase. She closes the windows, turns off the lights, preparing for change. With champagne and antidepressants, parties and hangovers, she closes the door and resolutely enters the elevator. Go.

Mood19Directed by Roseliz Gonzalez | VenezuelaA global pandemic, a saturated home with confinement and loneliness, a drowned body in the uncertainty.

LemusDirected by Ixchel Casado Pérez y Lía Tamame Safonts | CubaThe street of your childhood and a recurring memory of shame and nakedness that corrupts your soul. Go back there, to the fragmented woman, to the feeling of disintegration and loss, to rebuild. Finding yourself with steps already taken, walking on steps already taken, not being able to escape. Come back come back, and flirt with madness.

ElementoDirected by Nina Marín | Colombia

The man and the water, a single element. He wanders the streets, forests, and trails of the city until he reaches to the origin, the Element.
