THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DEATHS IN THE WORLD
LAS MUERTES MÁS BELLAS DEL MUNDO
Directed by Quique Aviles & Ellie Walton
Documentary / 71 min / USA
1980 marked the beginning of an exodus of Salvadorans fleeing a US-backed war, with tens of thousands of people making the Washington, DC region their new home. The film explores how artists grapple with multi-generational traumas and loss as they reclaim their own stories and build a sense of belonging in the diaspora.
A FISHERMAN’S TALE
UN CUENTO DE PESCADORES
Directed by Edgar Nito
Horror / 103 mins / Mexico
Legend says that years ago, nature thrived in harmony around the lake and its islands until evil arrived. Men, blinded by dark desires, brought fear, hate, and death. The fishermen call it 'La Miringua', the one that drags and drowns you in the lake for your sins.
