Tonight's films are*:
Alone<h4>USA | 2024 | English and Spanish | Horror, Short | 8 min</h4>
Director: Mateo Durón
"Alone" revolves around the haunting tale of a woman traumatized by childhood memories of a sinister entity known as the "Duende" - a creature from Latino folklore known to take women who remain alone. As she navigates adulthood, her unresolved trauma intensifies, manifesting as eerie flashbacks and a relentless sense of being watched, especially during moments of solitude. This tension strains her relationships and culminates in a harrowing encounter with the Duende, a climax that promises to remain etched in viewers' memories.

Dear Grandma<h4>Argentina | 2022 | Spanish and Basque with English subtitles | Comedy | 100 min</h4>
Director: Jabi Elortegi
Mikel has decided to change his life and accepts a distant relative's invitation to travel to Argentina and settle there. However, it's not long before he realizes that his uncle Chelo is nothing more than an affable gambler and drinker who has nothing to offer him. As if that wasn't bad enough, things become even more complicated when Chelo's mother Amuma Dolores awakens from a lethargy of ten years on hearing Mikel sing a lullaby in Basque and mistaking him for her brother Juanito, Mikel's grandfather. From then on, the whole village sets about making Dolores believe that she is still in her native Bermeo of the 50s. Mikel will have nothing better to do than act as peacemaker between Dolores' squabbling children, Chelo and Begoña, with the help and complicity of Inés, the eternally cheerful carer of Amuma Dolores.
