LA SOMBRA DE LAS PALMERAS
Mexico, 15 min., 2024.Dir: Yesenia Novoa Rodriguez, Magali Rocha Donnadieu
Like a postcard, the image of palm trees in Mexico City is the symbol of a withered dream. The death of more than 75% of the capital's palm trees is not circumstantial. Urban landscaping was seduced throughout the world by that tropical Californian paradise, which evoked sun, freedom and a comfortable life; we import a utopia, building appearances and selling status. The dead palm trees (Phoenix canariensis) of our city, victims of globalization, remind us of the failure of a policy of appearances.

ACONCAGUA EN FEMENINO
Spain, 19,17 min., 2025. Dir: Astrid García Graells
This is the story of ten women from 50 to 74 years old, from the Aragonese club Montañeras Adebán. They are the protagonists of an expedition to Aconcagua to spread the message that mountains know no age or gender limits. Four of them climbed the 6960 metres of the roof of America, although all of them reached ‘their summit’, because the experience, the success and the story belong to all of them.
