LA AMERICANA / THE AMERICAN
DIRECTOR: NICHOLAS BRUCKMAN
BOLIVIA / 65 min

La Americana is Carmen's story, and the story of millions of undocumented
immigrants forced to leave their families behind in order to provide a
better life for them. It is the story of countries divided not only by
values, but moreover by physical and political barriers that separates
families indefinitely sometimes forever.


SHOPPING TO BELONG
DIRECTOR: IRENE SOSA
US / 30 min

Shopping to Belong is a documentary that explores the relationship between
consumerism and citizenship in the Latino community and how it is utilized
to own a sense of belonging. This documentary aims to explore the premise on
which immigrants shop as a means to feel a part of this country, given that
it is one of, if not the main, cultural activity in the United States.

DIRECTORS: MARTA RODRIGUEZ &
FERNANDO RESTREPO
COLOMBIA / 52 min

This documentary is the third installment of the series Women at War,
co-directed by Marta Rodriguez and Fernando Restrepo. The trilogy focuses on
women who have been displaced by the paramilitary attacks on black
communities in the Choc region of the Colombian Pacific coast and their
search for a future.
MEXICO, EL ULTIMO PAIS MAGICO / MEXICO, THE LAST MAGICAL COUNTRY

DIRECTOR: DEMETRIO BILBATUA
MEXICO / 33 min

A kaleidoscopic of breathtaking images, illustrates Mexico as rich as its
cultures. Three thousand years of uninterrupted civilization, art, music,
language, poetry, and religion emanate from its soil, survive in the gaiety

of its farthest corners.
PB

DIRECTOR: PEDRO BLANCO URIBE
VENEZUELA / 6 min

Four very diverse characters meet in an elevator. An executive, a designer
and a Police officer are secretly and individually warned about a killer
"wearing blue". A calm nervousness begins to show. Meanwhile, the fourth
character, a deliveryman, listens loudly to salsa music through his
headphones, completely unaware of the situation. Tensions continue to grow
inside the elevator: all of them are dressed in blue.
