Bodies fall short sometimes.
Whether it’s potential memory loss (Noggin and Pena’s Special Hauling) or more unusual conditions like inverted tear ducts causing an unknown interior waterfall (La Cascada).
But how far would you go to change the body you’ve been given? Would you try to make yourself more like someone in a magazine (LARVAL)? Or go as far as removing your heart to get over a breakup (Tako Tsubo)?
The characters in our fifth competition programme know better than anyone the lengths someone would go to reinvent themselves.
Huge thanks to Matchbox Cine for providing Descriptive Subtitles for all six Short Film Competition screenings.
