Two Shorts by Sofía Camargo

The complex dynamics between mothers and daughters is at the heart of these beautifully understated shorts by Colombian director Sofía Camargo. In BY THE RIVER, an unspoken grief hovers in the household of a newly single mother and her two daughters, while in NOSTOS, a young girl acts out in defiance of her pregnant mother. With naturalistic performances, careful attention to framing and sound, and a feeling for the mysterious dimensions of nature, Camargo creates immersive sensory worlds attuned to subtle emotional shifts.
