Ángel and his brother Franco have been locked up in a juvenile detention centre for a year. Despite the hostility of the place, they form bonds with others inmates and daydream about the future.

Twisting in from Chile, Guillermo Ribbeck’s phenomenal EMPTY JARS is a stylishly directed dark fantasy set in a decaying student residence where a woman (Ana Burgos, THE SEA) frees a ghost from a jar and works to find it a suitable human vessel to possess. Potent, inventive and wildly entertaining with a prankster heart and a melancholic soul.

PAJARONES is an irreverent comedy web-series that captures the best of Chilean idiosyncrasy in an absurdly minimalist, stop-motion cardboard world where anything can happen. Picu and Chelo, two inseparable birds from a faraway city, meet every day on a bench to exchange surreal anecdotes about their new lives as university students in the capital.
