Presencia (Presence)

This short film about two women and a possible crime scene raises more questions than answers. Who wants to kill who? Who is the guy in the hoodie? What actually happened that night?

[Also check out Obsesión, another film by the same director, which has other women amidst other (stalkerish) crimes.]

Al Otro Lado (The Other Side)

This short movie involves a woman working for Hopeline, the suicide hotline. She receives a call that makes her question a lot of things, especially the calls that make or unmake a person.

The audio could use some work here, but I really felt that tension slowly being built up. Oh, the trials of wanting to save a life.

Prescindibles (Dispensable)

This short film deals with a guy just trying to do his job, and yet he is made to take consequences for it. I understand that during hard times, sacrifices must be made. Poor guy, though.

Surprising (but awesome) endnote.

La Culpa (Guilt)

A mindfuck of a movie, even though it's less than 13 minutes. Features death, blood, and the spiraling stages of guilt. Totally understandable why it won a number of awards at film festivals. Brilliant!

La Cruz (The Cross)

What was supposedly a nice drive out by the countryside quickly turns into something sinister. Note to self: long, lonely roads are no place to practice my skills behind the wheel.

Probably NSFW, as there's some blood, among other things.

Tiempo (Time)

A multi-awarded short film narrated by a humble watch. Such genius in 10 minutes with wonderful shots, a subtle plot, and black-and-white significance. Wonderful, wonderful film.

TDK (Twice Disabled Knight / El Guerrero Sordociego)

This short film is described as, "Three boys on the way back home witness an odd hero in action". What a funny little film! There was a moment of seemingly supposed silence, but it's important, so don't think the vid's broke. This is great stuff.
