Sycorax (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
A short film directed by Lois Patiño ('Luna Roja') and Matías Piñeiro ('Isabella'), loosely adapting William Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', with the distinction of giving voice to a character that has no lines in the original: the titular 'Sycorax'. A cinematic exercise with a dreamy atmosphere, halfway between cinema and theater, which will undoubtedly be loved by lovers of both arts.

Our suggestions
Mother of Caliban and imprisoner of Ariel, Sycorax remains offstage in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, dismissed by Prospero as an “evil sorceress”. Here she becomes the central subject, as a director attempts to give a face and voice to this silenced character.

Blondi
Argentine actress Dolores Fonzi (Wind Remains, I'm Your Fan) makes her directorial debut with Blondi, a comedy-drama about the eponymous single mother (Fonzi) and her son, Mirko (Toto Rovito). Their relationship is more like that of friends than mother-son: they go to concerts and parties together, share secrets and marijuana. Blondi portrays a simple story in which the events are a pretext to analyze this form of motherhood compared to others in a society where the expectations of the role are still quite rigid, but without falling into didacticism or becoming a pamphlet movie. Fonzi imparts an authentic and spontaneous spirit that, even if it is at times scattered in its narrative, is very fun and emotional. Read more in our full review.
