    Hummingbirds

    Estefanía “Beba” CONTRERAS Silvia CASTAÑOS 2023 USA Documentary color 77min English, Spanish DCP
    In Laredo, a city in southern Texas on the Mexican border, Silvia and Beba’s friendship blossoms into a kaleidoscope of conversation, laughs, and activist shenanigans as they spend one final summer together before they go their separate ways. Stuck in the immigration process in a politically divided America, home seems fragile. But their bond is not. The half-light is a space for poetry and dreams.
