Showcasing the diverse voices of these talented young artists, each of the six films highlight the vision and ingenuity of Ibero-America. These shorts have screened at Cannes, Toronto International Film Festival, and New York Film Festival, along with strong Latin American showcases such as the Morelia, Mar del Plata, Valdivia, and Havana film festivals. Curated by Josh Gardner of Cinema Lamont, Detroit.
