Cocote
First Assistant Director
A rapturous crime fable set in the Dominican Republic, Nelson Carlo De Los Santos Arias’ COCOTE follows Alberto, a kind-hearted gardener returning home to attend his father’s funeral. When he discovers that a powerful local figure is responsible for his father’s death, Alberto realizes that he’s been summoned by his family to avenge the murder. It’s an unthinkable act — especially for him, an Evangelical Christian. But as pressure mounts, he sees few ways out. Questions of faith, tradition and honor course through this electrifying film, which, seemingly at the speed of thought itself, jumps between film formats, colors, and aspect ratios, radically envisioning a community torn asunder by senseless violence.
Tiznao
Director
Under the threat of a hurricane pending over the city, Lubrini is looking for his lover, who disappeared in the streets of Havana.
Roll Out
Director
It’s special retrospective night in the Cine Caribe with CLAUDIA (50), the film’s actress. AVELINO (55), the projectionist, worked with her twenty years ago. He goes to meet Claudia in hopes to remember old times and as a present, brings with him a fragment of the film. Not remembering Avelino she takes him for an admirer and autographs the celluloid. Avelino’s boss fires him for stealing part of the film and Avelino realizes time has passed and he hasn’t achieved anything. Along with MARCEL (22), his disciple, he films and inserts himself into the movie to relive his past, but the projection ends and Avelino has to face reality.
The Good Things
Director
Romelia tells the melodrama of his own story of heartbreak through the interpretation of the main characters who were part of her love story. Soon fiction and reality collide, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction.
Honey Pot
Director
Honey Pot is a Video-installation that uses the image as a critical vehicle that puts into question the path we have chosen as a insular caribbean society in the twenty-first century, through the juxtaposition of fragmented images of the city, the countryside and the individual.
