El Circulo (The Circle)

This short film about bulimia and anorexia affected me. It has rather sensitive scenes (vomiting, blood, etc.), but it felt very real.

It must be hard though, always feeling as if you're not enough for yourself.

Fuga

This beautiful and symphonic short film about a girl and her violin is rightfully worthy of its accolades. The textures are simply amazing, and story-telling is exquisite. Masterful work.

Zeta

This short film shows a lifetime with just a few pair of shoes. Sweet and poignant.

Love the noted quote too: "Tenemos en la cabeza un cerebro, y en los zapatos unos pies, para poder ir donde queramos."

Dos Ciclos (Two Cycles)

This short film is about the life of a bicyclist in Mexico City. Lots of personality, lots of heart, lots of bike trails.

Indeed, go and do what makes you happy.

Menú Equivocado (Wrong Menu)

She has found the ideal man, but there's something about the way he stares that just seems, well, wrong. Very nicely done, and I won't mind watching this one again, although it would probably break my heart all over again, too.

(Carlos' little slip of chest may merit an NSFW stamp, but he sure looks incredibly sexy. Ladies, cheers.)

Salón Royale

This slice-of-life film features girl talk and will-my-ex-be-there talk. I find it amazing how this film is told with facial expressions, as well as with words said and unsaid. I also find it interesting that it's shot almost entirely inside a moving vehicle.

But yeah, it will probably be over in two days.
