A look at the experience of a crisis counselor and the shared humanity between a texter and operator.
A metacinematic reflection on the nature of representation and the ongoing drug war in Mexico, Nicolás Pereda’s Flora revisits locations and scenes from the mainstream 2010 narco-comedy El Infierno, exploring the paradoxes of depicting narco-trafficking on film—its tendency both to romanticize and to obscure. To screen is both to project and to conceal.

Jamie Johnson is a kid with a dream. A dream and a talent which could take him all the way to the very top. It’s a story about handling your parents (or lack of them) and getting through school with your friendships and soul intact. And it’s about football; the mud, the blood, the passion, the tears and the jumpers for goalposts on a Sunday in the park when you play with every fibre of your being and nothing else matters.

When a boy is too confused to speak with his non-communicative family, words eventually lose their meaning. He decides to communicate with his dandruff and a cup of cold coffee instead. His father ignores these eccentricities, assuming it is just a ploy to get attention. Meanwhile, the boy's sister likes exercising seductively in front of men and is better able to capture her father's attention than her brother. Their mother is oblivious, perpetually talking to people on her mobile phone and the space the family occupies grows narrower and narrower.

Nice Coloured Girls is a short film classic by Tracey Moffatt, one of Australia's foremost visual artists.
