About Catalan Film Festival: Shorts Programme II
We will offer the first award of the festival to the best short film chosen by the audience.
Programme II (95mins)
Mater Benefacta (dir. Marc Riba and Anna Solana) – 12mins
Mater Benefacta unfolds in a convent in Franco’s Spain, where the nuns offer shelter to young girls in need.
Nens (dir. Anna Martí Domingo) – 14mins
Teo and his friends are boys who believe they are far from the most toxic forms of masculinity. Still, any game is an excuse to measure their strength, like initiation rituals. One summer day, they take the game too far.
Hoy no ha dormido bien (dir. Enrique Perales Mañes) – 21mins
Sofia wakes up every day in the hospital room where her brother is admitted. Her days are a loop that she tries to combine with her studies as an actress at the acting school, but the uncomfortable chair for companions is not a good library. Even so, Sofia does everything possible to not stagnate in a world that does not stop in the face of her problems. Today Sofia has one of the most important auditions of her entire training, in front of a teacher who is as terrifying as he is eminent. Elena, her brother’s partner, has to relieve Sofia at the hospital so that she can go to the exam, but will she arrive in time for Sofia to go to the test?
Imade (dir. Ignacio Acconcia González)- 29mins
A young migrant is looking forward to returning to Morocco to visit his family, whom he has not seen for years. To do so, he will have to struggle against the isolation and loneliness in which he lives because of his deafness.
Ressonàncies (d’una música callada) (dir. Xavier Esteban) – 19min
Ayako, a Japanese resident in Barcelona, guides a group of tourists from her country through the former apartment of the famous Catalan composer and pianist, Frederic Mompou. Her silent music evokes ancestral memories, resonances that transcend cultural and temporal boundaries. What is the mystery of this familiarity?
