wIng: the fIsh that talked back
Little Wing is fascinated by marine life and curious about
her ancestral homeland of China. Fantasy and reality
mingle whimsically in her story, featuring an old lady who
does not talk, some fish, and a nice hot cup of tea.

trIpe and onIons (szalontudo)
Two men, one dish, of the titular tripe and onions, and hilarious
facial expressions all played out under the backdrop of a coke bottle
serenade that will mesmerize and entertain you while the story
evolves. Dialogue free, yet expressive and comical with a non-verbal
punch line you won’t soon forget.
[Dir. Martin Szirmai, 2007, hungary, 35mm, 7 mins. no dialogue]

Moody, atmospheric and with style to boot, see for yourselves what critics and cinephiles alike are saying about
the strength of Mexican Cinema. With a very strong base of support from IMCINE, the cultural organization
for promotion of film and a strong group of film schools including the world renowned Centro de Capacitacion
Cinematografica (CCC), it’s no wonder that the country is a force in the film world. While each film is certainly
different from the rest, they share the same tone and feel, light on comedy, heavy on thought provoking
subjects, and totally exciting to see.

dIrty clothes (la ropa sucIa)
Tatiana faces the exhaustion of her relationship and the
dilemma brought about by a decision about the future.
The saying, “When one door closes, another opens,”
may be a bit too literal in this modern tale of an age-old
story...the break-up.
