English and Spanish with English subtitles
Dreams that New York inspires are not always sweet, even less so for the young Spaniard who yearns for connections in the city of frozen streets and lost glances. Temblor is a quiet short film from the intimate perspective of an immigrant struggling to adapt in the barren New York winters. Her imagination and fears come to life through a hybrid of live action and animated sketches. Based on the deeply personal experiences of first-time director Marina Fernandez Ferri, Temblor explores the isolation of every outsider in a foreign land.
