Don't Open

Mexico, 2026, Horror, 12 min 13 sec

Thu 19 Nov, 6:00

During the isolation of a pandemic, Pablo develops severe insomnia and gradually loses his ability to distinguish between dreams and reality. Surrounded by medication, loneliness and mysterious voices calling to him from the darkness, he begins to believe that a disturbing presence is taking the form of people he loves. The warning is simple: do not open the door. But as fear and paranoia intensify, Pablo discovers that the greatest threat may not be waiting outside. Don't Open is a psychological horror short about isolation, insomnia, paranoia and the terrifying uncertainty of a mind pushed beyond its limits.

Anny

Mexico, 2026, Supernatural Drama, 7 min 31 sec

Thu 19 Nov, 6:00PM

A solitary night watchman spends the night awake with only coffee, memories and an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe for company. His routine is interrupted by Anny, a frightened young girl seeking refuge after another recurring nightmare. As they speak about flowers, dolls and absent mothers, a painful secret begins to surface. When Anny leads him through the dark corridors of the cemetery to her own grave, the boundary between the real and the spiritual dissolves. The watchman comes to understand that, through his kindness and protection, she may finally have found peace. Anny is a supernatural drama about fear, innocence, memory and the comfort that can emerge from an unexpected human connection.

Haunted by the photograph of her grandmother, a woman develops a nightly ritual of burying the image in an attempt to escape the fear it creates.
