2021Lamento borincano
Fernando Cortés
Mapy Cortés, Arturo Correa
The film, which is an ode to Rafael Hernández's song "Lamento borincano", is a social commentary of the political and social policies of the 40's and 50's which led to the abandonment of what was seen by many as the "pure", "virtuous" life of the finca (farm) for the "corrupting" influence of urban centers like San Juan and New York City.

Amores
Paloma Todd, Roberto Busó-García
Rocky Venegas, Gladys Rodríguez
Amores explores the world of acting from its most basic and solitary form: the monologue. If only an actor, a text, and someone who hears it are needed to make an acting exercise, then Amores offers fourteen splendid acts from renowned professionals in Puerto Rico. Amores is composed by different monologues that, in set, offer reflection on aspects of love. In this manner, the title becomes a statement: amor es... (love is...)
