My Pana
Santiago Giralt, 14 minutes, Argentina, In Spanish with English subtitles
Pana is a popular Spanish slang word in Venezuelan that means many things: as a noun, it refers to a friend, a good person; as an adjective, it’s a positive quality, someone nice, someone friendly and enjoyable. A coming-of-age story, the short My Pana is also a tale of immigration and exile, a portrait of a teenager adapting to a new society with the few tools he knows to survive: his youth, his body and, ultimately, his own resilience. Through the point of view of a teenager, we’ll understand the hardships of millions of Venezuelans living abroad and the consequences of corruption, exile and the fractured soul of a person who was pushed to leave his true life to adapt to a hostile new place. A portrait of a Venezuelan teenager adapting to a new society after immigration and exile.

Julian Hernandez, 35 minutes, Mexico, In Spanish with English subtitles
