Los proyectos seleccionados son:
Apenas habrá sombras (There Will Be Shadows) | Argentina
Dir. Diego Ercolano
Prod. Alberto Rodríguez
A group of actors and actresses prepare a performance installation about some of the events that took place the year before the last military dictatorship in Argentina and about the case of Coca Maggi, a university professor and dean who was kidnapped and murdered in Argentina by the fascist group Concentración Nacional Universitaria (CNU) in May 1975. While preparing the installation and rehearsing the scenes, the actors and actresses reflect on the problems of representing the past and the challenges of building collective memory.
K’allpanakuy Orcconchiskunapi (Furia en los Andes – Rage in the Andes) | México, Perú, Estados Unidos, Canadá
Dir. Adela Goldbard
Prod. Andrea Juárez, Claudia Farfán
Socially committed, participatory and experimental film that blurs the boundaries between ethnography, documentary and fiction. It takes place in the immersive geography of the Peruvian Andes, offering a powerful exploration of indigenous struggle. Created in collaboration with inhabitants of the Quechua region of Chumbivilcas, it reinterprets and subverts historical and contemporary narratives related to social conflicts. Drawing from their own desires for emancipation, community members co-created an uncensored narrative that celebrates indigenous cultural practices, reconfigured as acts of resistance.
Matininó | Puerto Rico, Estados Unidos, República Dominicana
Dir. Gabriela Díaz Arp
Prod. Karla Claudio
La historia de Matininó comienza cuando Idaliz Villanueva decide huir con sus dos hijas María y Desirée – con apenas 6 meses y 7 años – de un matrimonio violento. Treinta años después, los efectos de la violencia continúan reverberando en su familia y de manera más amplia en su hogar, Puerto Rico, donde recién se declara un estado de emergencia a raíz de la violencia de género. Para darle sentido a su narrativa familiar y empoderar a su comunidad, las mujeres de la familia Villanueva-Rodríguez-Ramos se unen para escribir y protagonizar una película de fantasía donde las mujeres tienen el poder.
Motel sobre un lago (Motel by the Lake) | México
Dir. Daniel Touron de Alba
Prod. Daniel Touron de Alba
My family decided to sell the Motel on a Lake. After 25 years in Wisconsin, USA, Aunt Bibi and Uncle Oskar are about to end a life cycle. In their 70s, they feel strong enough to embark on one last journey: a return to their origins. Motel on a Lake is our farewell letter.
No Money, No Honey | Chile, Argentina, Estados Unidos
Dir. Nicole Costa

La Máxima, a despondent Argentinean sex worker in New York, will embark on an emotional journey to reconcile with her turbulent past and redefine her place in the world.
