You've Been Redirected!
Edit as of March 15: Freespanishshortfilms.com is back up! Thank you!
Hi!
Camille here. I've been having issues with my hosting provider, so I redirected the site back to this old blog. I'm hoping to have everything sorted out by the end of the week. Until then, feel free to browse over this site's pages, maybe you'll find a good short film to check out in the meantime :)
I'll update the link once everything's back to normal. Thanks for your patience!

Como Dos Desconocidos (Like Two Strangers)
This short film is about a guy meeting his ex at the mall. There's awkwardness, shy smiles, and very few words, but you can tell that there's still some sparks between these two.
Definitely squee-worthy, and it overall made me gush. Just the kind of film to make you feel all warm inside on a day like Valentine's Day.
(English subtitles are available as closed captions for this one, so watch it now! Then again, maybe you'd prefer a love story involving geeks? Or have you been pushed into the horrible place that is the friendzone?)

Pecera (Fishbowl)
This short film is about a woman dealing with a number of "unfair dismissals" in her company. It also features the story of a woman who may or may not be dismissed herself... But how either scenario will end is anyone's guess.
Curious short film, and quite an interesting way to tell a rather open-ended and thoughtful situation.
(English subtitles available for this one, so why not watch Pecera now? Or are you tired of the office and would rather experience an idyllic situation?)

Bendito Machine II: The Spark Of Life
This short animated film features beautiful artwork, interesting characters, and a notable lesson about greed. Yes, Bendito Machine II definitely carries on the world (and careless personalities) of Bendito Machine I: Everything You Need. This time, however, the lesson involves a kind of fizzy drink, and righteous karma.
Curious short film, but definitely relatable. And, perhaps, relevant.
(This has no dialogue, by the way. Watch it now! Then again, maybe you're looking for more silent films? Here are some animated ones, too - Fuga is one of my favorites.)

Recursos Humanos
This short film is about a man from human resources who is to interview a new face. While this situation may show the discomfort some applicants may feel when questioned by an HR personnel (particularly an inappropriate one), this also gives a hint of vindication for them, too.
Lovely film deserving of a slow clap. If you're interested in knowing more about this short film, here's a video on how it was made.
(Watch it now, since it's got English subtitles available. By the way, Prescindibles, a film by the same director, is another short film that features an HR-related role, though that deals with the termination process.)
