The 30th Annual San Diego Latino Film Festival will close this Sunday, but cinebeth says there are still plenty of films to see and a closing night party.
Moises Ezpara, the festival's exhibitions director, is excited to show films made after the height of the pandemic that are fueled by ambitious themes. Filmmakers are no longer stuck in their homes, but the lockdown experience has colored their movies.
"We built a character that has everything apparently perfect to build a great domestic life," director Michelle Garza Cervera said."And that was constructed deliberately. We wanted the problem and the entity and the horror to be born out of her internal emotional conflict. And that means we also didn't want it to be focused on the process of what happens to a female body literally, throughout pregnancy. We've seen that a lot.
"I had a fear while growing up as a little girl to be one of those women because they would make fun of them or they would just be in these kind of boxes, canceled boxes," Cervera said. As a young Mexican woman in a society deeply influenced by the Catholic church, Valeria has convinced herself that happiness lies in what society has defined as a traditional, heteronormative relationship with a husband and baby. But this dream life turns into a nightmare as Valeria feels her identity splitting. That feeling is reflected in the imagery of the film as well, with Valeria reflected and fragmented in mirrors, windows and water.
