Film School Spotlight: CENTRO DE CAPACITACIÓN CINEMATOGRÁFICA
CCC is Mexico's premiere film school, exemplifying the gold standard of cinematography and championing a bold new wave. To commemorate the bicentennial of Mexican independence, WSFF presents six dynamic short films - exposing a sublimely subversive cinematic underbelly that is both fresh and unforgettable.
| A Trip (Un Viaje) |
| Extreme exhaustion paralyzes a single father struggling to raise his son with special needs. In an instant, his waking life becomes his worst nightmare. |
| |
| Dirty clothes (La ropa sucia) |
| Tatiana is trapped in the unrelenting banality of a stagnating relationship. Confronted with memories of happier times, will she settle for a broken washing machine and a lazy lover? Or will she break the spin cycle? |
| |
| Reality show |
| Ramon is waiting for the pizza delivery when his channel-surfing reveals something unusual. This gritty, Lynch-ian allegory about free will and the ability to alter one's fate may leave you reconsidering your next late-night delivery order. |
| |
| The Desire (El deseo) |
| After her husband slams the door on their relationship, Ana struggles to embrace life as a middle-aged single woman. An empowering portrait of an often under-represented demographic, this film employs a certain vérité-style voyeurism that is nothing short of riveting. |
| |
| The Eye on The Nape (El ojo en la nuca) |
| Haunted by memories of his father's execution and tormented by a new law pardoning those responsible, Pablo is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of revenge. Gael Garcia Bernal lends a taut and nuanced performance to this slickly-realized drama. |
