Speechless

This short film about lesbians and the friends they fall in love with is part-movie, part-documentary. It features the story of two friends falling asleep on the same bed, while it also has snippets of live interviews with lesbians talking about their personal experiences.

I suppose human relationships, even those between women, aren't ever easy. (Here's another film about, in turn, a guy falling for his lady friend.)

Separata (Audition Piece)

This short film is about a woman wanting to audition for a certain role. However, there's more than just an audition piece here; there are also other issues, such as the question of relationships, the right lines, and playing roles.

Great acting, interesting ending, lovely picture.

El Día Después (The Morning After)

This short film is about a boss and her female employee talking about what happened last night. It's just a simple conversation, but their body language offer more than what their words have to offer. Cute.

Deseos Encontrados (Found Pleasure)

This short film is about two girls who are best of friends, and how one of them may just have feelings for the other. It's interesting how this kind of scenario is applicable (and maybe more apparent) to everyone today, so be ever so mindful.

(Mi Amigo Jaime is a film of a similar nature, only with teen boys as its principal actors.)

Lo Que Quiero De Ti (What I Want From You)

This short film about two men, separately talking about their relationship to others, is really quite curious. On the one hand, you have a shy stalker, and on the other hand, you have a restless playboy. Of course, it takes a turn for the weird as they talk more about themselves, and how they view each other.

This movie personally leaves me thoughtful, and with the inkling to check out Nosferatu.

Mi Amigo Jaime

This short film about a teenage boy and his friend Jaime is actually rather sweet. Amidst pool laps and beach waves, it depicts just how it feels like when you fall in love with your best friend.

Also, bromance.

Sin Decir Nada (Don't Say a Word)

This short film about the crush of a teenage lesbian is rather sweet. I find it interesting how snapshots, movements, and perceived closeness do well to give rather intimate views.

**Just to note: Video quality here is not very good.

Desempleado

This short film about an unemployed man just made me so very sad. Oh, what indeed is the purpose of a great education, if you can't use it in the real world?

Paco

This adorable film about a (gay) man running after Paco is just too cute for words. It helps that Paco almost always looks like a movie star. Ay, Paco.

(Check out the El País website for slightly better video quality. It has the English subtitles, too.)

Sirenito (Little Siren)

This short film of a little boy wanting to dress up as a certain imaginary persona is funny, yet frustrating. Oh, the wonders of miscommunication, especially for a too-caring mother.

Sígueme

This one's a film about two men, a woman, and a special relationship. Features a sex scene (NSFW-worthy), and homosexuality comes to play here. I got a little surprised by the turn of events, but hey - it's a sign of the times.

This was said to have won an award at the Madrid International Gay and Lesbian Film Fest.
