Después

by Sorely Muentes Mendez

Puerto Rico

Dicen que después de la tormenta viene la calma, pero Después explora la rabia, frustración y resiliencia que desarrollamos después de un evento de pérdida ya sea natural, mental o espiritual.

words from the filmmaker

Around 2 billion people around the world do not have access to clean and safe drinking water.
There’s a saying that "After(Después)the storm the calm will come." But we really know it is not that simple. It could be dates of no water, drinking water, power and fresh food. After an emotional storm
there’s dates of instability, grief and uncertainty that it seems that the only escape is to be resilience,
For the Director this film is important because it is a claim, a grief, a liberation.

why we love this film

The raw emotions and the innovative use of body extensions, like the prop, are truly commendable. It radiates pure joy and is exceptionally well-crafted.
