The Risk of Childhood
(Short Narrative, Mexico, Language: Spanish w/ English subtitles, 17 min. 2024) Directed by
Luis Fernando Portales Ruiz
On a ranch in northern Mexico, Luisito, an 8-year-old boy, goes unnoticed by his family and invokes his father's presence with the clothes he left behind before he died. Once his mother decided to get rid of the clothes and give them to a migrant, to whom the family has been hosting, Luisito will be able to experience the grief that has been denied to him.
I Stole your Ashes
(Short Narrative, Spain, Language: Spanish w/ English subtitles, 20 min. 2024) Directed by Felipe Olaya
Isabel has become a widow at 65. After stealing the urn of ashes, Isabel takes refuge in a park to say goodbye to the love of her life, her wife, while remembering their story and reflecting on love and loss. Based on the presumption of heterosexuality, this story is a mirror. What prevents us from empathizing with those who love differently?
The Subtitles
(Short Narrative, Colombia, Language: Spanish w/ English subtitles, 108 min. 2024) Directed by
Andrés Restrepo Gómez
Felipe is an apathetic young man with a talent for buying and selling stocks. His only interest lies in market movements, especially during times of war. His interactions with others are minimal and utilitarian, even with his only friend, Sara, a chaotic translator who lends him her Wi-Fi. One night, Felipe starts seeing subtitles of what people truly want to say to him. Stunned, he realizes he can "read" everyone's subtextexcept Sara's. His friend will make him understand that to break the spell, he must learn to empathize with others' language.
