Solange Film Festival: Short Block #3

Solange Film Festival: Short Block #3

Short Block #3 consists of four short films whose themes explore self-discovery and personal transformation through unexpected challenges—whether it's a woman seeking adventure in an unfamiliar place, a couple navigating a turning point in their relationship, a radio DJ confronting her past and future, or an athlete overcoming barriers to achieve his dreams. Each story explores personal growth, resilience, and the transformative power of stepping outside one's comfort zone.

Susana

Directed by Gerardo Coello Escalante and Amandine Thomas
A middle-aged American woman finds herself alone in Mexico City. When she encounters a group of young American tourists, she jumps at the opportunity for a little adventure.

Honey

Directed by Doron Max Hagay
A couple's failing relationship takes a turn when they discover a drunk girl on their doorstep.

Radio Silence

Directed by Ric Serena

As a successful radio DJ, Tracey made a career out of her love for music and its connection to the human experience. But when confronted with her mother’s illness, she is forced to reevaluate her own life. Divided between the hauntingly beautiful memories of her past, fears of the future, and painful realities of her present, she gives herself the ultimate challenge – a broadcast of reconciliation.

Impossible is Just a Word

Directed by Jen Stafford
Chris Nikic made history by becoming the first athlete with Down Syndrome to complete the IRONMAN. Unveiling the layers of his life with delicate humanity, this film goes beyond the athlete to explore Chris’s personal narrative. Amidst his astounding athletic accomplishments and intellectual disability, we uncover Chris’ greatest aspirations, from homeownership to falling in love, drawing on points of relatability that resonate universally and reminding us to pursue progress- no matter how incremental to relentlessly go after our dreams.
