SUMMARY:Tigers Can Be Seen in the Rain
DESCRIPTION:Running Time: 15 min \nThe candour of images from the past\, filmed by a camera still hesitant in the hands of the siblings learning to use it\, meets the coldness of the Montreal winter\, frozen in still shots. Voices\, taken from voice messages\, speak not only of illness and sadness but also of hope and everyday life. Two times and two places intertwine\, united by the voices that run through them and by the nostalgia and absence they evoke. Tigers Can Be Seen in the Rain is a delicate collage between movement and stillness\, between homeland and adopted country\, between present and memory\, and between presence and disappearance—an experimental essay on mourning and a tribute to a loved one gone too soon. (AJL) \nShort film precedes Crab Trap

SUMMARY:Vainilla
DESCRIPTION:Dir\, Mayra Hermosillo\nMexico\n2025 \n“A poignant\, compelling film that establishes Hermosillo as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary Mexican cinema.” \nIn the late 1980s\, a family of seven women in northern Mexico\, spanning different generations and ideologies\, fights to save their home\, which they are on the verge of losing due to an outstanding debt.
