SUMMARY:Chronicle of a City
DESCRIPTION:Dir\, Nadine Gomez\nQuebec\, Mexico\n2025\nFilmmaker in attendance! \nA patchwork of millions of lives\, urban spaces are not only streets and concrete. They are where our dreams and deepest worries unfold. Chronicle of a City drifts and strolls through time and chance encounters\, moving between fantasy and reality\, echoing the intimate and ghostly voices of our metropolises\, reminding us that we inhabit The City as much as it inhabits us. This roaming essay is a visual and sonic meditation that invites us to see urban life as a web of sensations that move through us and draw us closer to one another\, even in the midst of solitude. \n

SUMMARY:What Lurks Under the Veil
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to honour our decisions\, and what must we leave behind to move forward? In this program\, we encounter characters who confront the darkness of their desires and contradictions\, situations that push them to their limits and challenge their lives as they know them. Through animation\, horror\, video essay\, and docufiction\, the body becomes a contested territory and what we keep silent emerges from the pores of each story. The silhouette of the right choice blurs in a world plagued by injustice and inequality. \nExplore this short program here

SUMMARY:A Poet
DESCRIPTION:Dir\, Simón Mesa Soto\nColombia\n2025 \nSince its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2025\, A POET has traveled the world receiving awards\, but above all\, applause and laughter. A gem of Colombian cinema\, prepare for an unforgettable journey to a place you never imagined: the poetry circle of Medellín. \nÓscar Restrepo\, the poet of the title\, has been incapable of measuring up to his promising first steps in literature\, and gets by as he can while caring for his mother. Óscar finds a kindred spirit in his student Yurlady\, a young woman whom he sees as a diamond in the rough of poetry.
