Serpentina

Oliveira do Hospital, 1995. A screenwriter looking for inspiration, a failed actor trying to get back into the spotlight, and a suitcase full of cash hidden in a chimney. These are the ingredients of Serpentina, whose characters, while trying to make a movie, find themselves in a gangster film they don't know how to get out of. This film is part of the Contado Por Mulheres (Told by Women) project. This is a unique project in Portuguese audiovisual media that brings us the freshness of new female directors, all from different generations and recognized for their talent in various areas such as cinema, theater, dance, and advertising.

No One Would Tell

Shy sixteen-year-old Stacy Collins can't believe that the most popular guy in school, an attractive athlete named Bobby Tennison, is interested in her. At first she is flattered by his constant attention, but then he becomes possessive and jealous-telling her who she can speak to and what she can wear. Threats escalate into violence when Bobby thinks Stacy has stepped out of line. Soon she is walking on egg shells and living in fear. Having seen the tell-tale bruises, Stacy's best friend convinces her to break things off with Bobby-but in a moment of weakness, Stacy goes to meet him. It will be the last time she is seen alive.
