Devenir Rosa & Hummingbirds

I read the programme of this year’s Ibértigo and decided to watch the two films whose one-line summaries sounded least depressing. I think I made the right choice.

Devenir Rosa

a film by Valeri Hernani

A Peruvian short is a poignant dialogue between generations, that of Valeri and her grandmother Rosa.

Hummingbirds

a film by Silvia del Carmen Castaños and Estefanía “Beba” Contreras

Not much happens in this documentary set in Laredo, Texas (not to be confused with real Laredo), and thank goodness for that. Two teenage friends enjoy “doing nothing together”, they know it’s not gonna last, and it’s beautiful.
