SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: FLIFF Presents: Aftershocks
DESCRIPTION:After a powerful earthquake\, Catalina returns to her old family home to help her father\, Domingo\, sell the property following the sudden death of her uncle Héctor. Between them unfolds a space of mourning and reconciliation\, marked by unresolved guilt and inherited silences. In their forced coexistence\, cracks begin to reveal the shadow of Héctor —an absent figure who never truly left. Replicas is a drama of mystery and memory\, where both seismic and human aftershocks threaten to bring down what little still stands. \n\nDirector Biography – Diego Gonzalez\nHe was born in Santiago\, Chile\, in 1981. He began making short films during his university years\, participating in Chilean and international festivals. He studied film at the Escuela de Cine de Chile and attended screenwriting seminars with Robert McKee and Patricio Guzmán\, among others. He has also taught film appreciation and is currently promoting his feature film Replicas (2025). \nDirector Statement\nChile\, one of the most seismically active countries in the world\, lives with a constant awareness of instability. That physical fragility has become part of our emotional identity. In Aftershocks\, this geographic condition symbolizes what we believe to be solid\, yet when shaken over and over\, it exposes what cannot be erased: the fractures that remain beneath the surface. \nIn this film\, I wanted to explore fatherhood\, grief\, guilt\, and shame as telluric forces that stir memory. Catalina and Domingo\, daughter and father\, confront what has been left unsaid —the dead\, the memories\, and the secrets that continue to shift within both their inner worlds and the physical space they inhabit. The house where the story unfolds is a living organism\, a capsule of time that holds within its walls the vibration of what is no longer visible\, yet inevitably rises from its hiding place. \nThe film’s visual language privileges observation and restraint. With a camera guided by precise movements and a contemplative rhythm\, Aftershocks evokes classical cinema —the stillness before the quake. Its autumnal light and suspended spaces invite reflection on how we inhabit our losses\, and how\, in Chile\, even when everything seems stable\, the ground —and memory itself— never truly stops moving. \n  \nWhere:\nSavor Cinema\n503 SE 6th Street\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen:\nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026 at 5:30pm\nSunday\, April 12\, 2026 at 4:15pm\nCost:\n$10-$12\nTickets:\nTicket Prices Vary Click Here to Purchase with FLIFF \nChile / 2025 / Spanish w/English subtitles / 88 min / Drama\, Mystery\, Suspense \nDirector\, Writer: Diego González;  Writer: María Paz Gonzalez; Producers: Sergio Karmy.\nKey Cast: Julio Jung\, Francisca Lewin .

SUMMARY:FAB Grantee Program: FLIFF Presents: Autisto
DESCRIPTION:Malika is the mother of Adam\, a boy with severe autism. She lives in constant fear of one day leaving him behind. Her life swings between terror\, loneliness\, uncertainty\, and outbursts—yet also love\, complicity\, hope\, and fleeting freedom. After a tragic event\, Malika considers placing Adam in a specialized facility. In her despair\, an unexpected encounter changes everything. \nMahmoud\, a cemetery keeper with torn clothes and a wild gaze\, speaks with the dead at night and dances to music by day. He and Adam bond instantly\, communicating not with words but with their souls. They grow inseparable\, sharing wild adventures. But their closeness soon becomes unsettling\, and Malika\, uneasy with this new friendship\, finally asks Mahmoud to stay away from her son. \n\nDirector Biography – Jerome Cohen-Olivar\nHe spent most of his childhood in Morocco where he shot small horror films (LITTLE HORROR MOVIE) in Super 8MM before leaving for Los Angeles. He studied college at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and later at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. \nHer first short film SUSAN SUSAN\, a satire about illegal immigration to the United States\, was bought by Disney. He produced his first feature film\, UNVEILED. The film was not as successful as expected in cinemas but sold well on video. COOL CRIME\, a bitter comedy about a gang of ghosts wandering in Los Angeles opens the PALM SPRINGS festival and allows the director to sign with the artistic agency CCA. In 2008\, the director signs KANDISHA\, a fantasy film inspired by a Moroccan legend AISHA KANDISHA dating from the nineteenth century\, the film becomes cult. In 2014\, OREN PELI\, the filmmaker \nbehind planetary success PARANORMAL ACTIVITY optionne LITTLE HORROR MOVIE. Not supporting the famous DEVELOPMENT HELL. Jerome decides to recover his script and produce it himself. Jérôme is currently working on several projects including the highly anticipated AUTISTO \nDirector Statement\nThe film “AUTISTO” directed by Jérôme Cohen-Olivar presents several interesting perspectives including the Exploration of new narrative and visual horizons especially as Morocco offers a picturesque and diverse setting. This provides a visually captivating backdrop for the film’s history\, which can enrich the cinematic experience and offer new narrative possibilities. \nAUTISTO is also embarking on Autism Awareness in a different cultural context: Locating the film in Morocco would explore the specific challenges and opportunities faced by people with autism in that country or in other similar cultural contexts. This could help raise awareness of autism in a way that takes into account cultural nuances and local realities. However\, there is also International Collaboration and Cultural Exchange: Making a film in Morocco usually involves collaboration with Moroccan film professionals\, which can promote the exchange of ideas\, techniques and experiences between international and local production teams. This can enrich the creative process and result in a more diverse and authentic end product. \nTourism and Local Film Industry Promotion: Shooting a film in Morocco can also help promote tourism in the country by showcasing its natural and cultural attractions. In addition\, it can boost the local film industry by providing employment opportunities and \ndrawing attention to the talent and resources available in the country. Not to mention increased international visibility: If the film is well received\, it could benefit from increased international visibility due to its location in Morocco and the country’s growing reputation as an attractive location for international film productions. \n  \nWhere:\nSavor Cinema\n503 SE 6th Street\nFort Lauderdale\, FL 33301\nWhen: \nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026 at 7:30pm\nSunday\, April 12\, 2026 at 2:00pm\nCost:   \n$9-$12\nTickets:\nTicket prices vary.
