Our illusions rewrite the tracks<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>

The curtains rise, revealing the magic of cinema: textures, stories, connections we feel from our seats. In this selection, film channels our devotions, frustrations, losses, and dreams. Honouring their identity and sense of belonging, these Latinx creators nurture their illusions and ingeniously express and overcome personal and social barriers. Throughout this program, the setting transforms into a beach, a karaoke bar, a mountain, a river, or even a broken-down van, bringing us closer to characters who shine with their own light, amplifying the familiarity of our differences and the wonderful possibility of rewriting our journey through the screen.<\/p>

In this video letter, the director addresses her aunt who was killed in a femicide years ago. Through a performance in which she projects the last Facebook message her aunt sent her, the young filmmaker reconstructs her own story, marked by the fear of living in a country dangerous for women and by the complexity of being the only woman in her family.<\/p>
