This is the first time I went to Casa de Colón to see films of any kind. Tonight’s screening was organised by the museum and Asociación de Cine Vértigo. The first five shorts were the winners of the last year’s film contest Visionaria, conceptos de isla. Cristina Yurena Zerr Sarmiento, the director of Kintsugi (the second prize of the jury), was there to say a few introductory words, along the lines “I don’t want to talk longer than a film and my film is really short”. I loved that. To my own surprise, however, my favourite film of the programme was the longest one, the 24-minute Chão de fábrica (Lunch Break) starring Helena Albergaria, Joana Castro, Carol Duarte and Alice Marcone.
