Best Short Film — Honorable Mention

Told through a narrative that is as intimate as it is collective, this short film delves into the lived experiences of women in Chilean academia within the social sciences. Three interwoven stories expose the inequalities and violences that shape the professional trajectories of female scholars, while also highlighting the solidarity and resistance that bind them together.
From a heartfelt letter inviting a colleague to join a collective project, to the reconstruction of memory across three generations of researchers, and the later reflexive process of the principal investigator, the film offers a poignant and powerful portrait of the ongoing struggle for gender equality in Latin American social sciences.
