Composition
All the Hands I've Let Go

All the Hands I've Let Go

A tender, serene film in which Laura Chará tries, through her grandmother and her aunt, to learn more about her mother, who died when Chará was very young and whom she barely remembers.
A Woman's Place Is Everywhere

A Woman's Place Is Everywhere

Unflinching and affectionate portrait of twin sisters Emilija and Ona. Following the death of their mother, they are confronted with stark realities: their landlord wants to evict them from the New York loft where they grew up, and Ona is pregnant.

Canina

Canina

Néstor Lopez portrays his emotionally distant, difficult grandfather, who gave up his artistic ambitions to make fishing flies for anglers, in the beautiful, dwindling Spanish village where he lived his entire life.
