  1. VOYEUR

 Director: Franchelle Marie Ulloa

En un mundo surrealista donde los límites entre la realidad y la percepción se desdibujan, una Mujer lucha por navegar una vida donde la libertad parece una ilusión. A medida que avanza en sus rutinas diarias, su conflicto interno se profundiza, todo mientras finge no estar cumpliendo con fantasías masculinas. Ella se imagina a sí misma como si nadie la viera, creyendo que tiene una vida propia, sin saber que cada movimiento está orquestado por la omnipresencia del Hombre en su mente. La confusión crece a medida que se enfrenta al dilema de sus acciones aparentemente independientes y la constante vigilancia interna. En un momento de inquietante claridad, la Mujer se da cuenta de que su sentido de autonomía es una ilusión, fabricada por el control implacable del Hombre, quien existe tanto en su mundo como dentro de ella misma. Se convierte en la mujer observada por un hombre dentro de sí, su propio voyeur, atrapada en la intrincada red de su aparente libertad.

In a surreal world where the boundaries between reality and perception blur, a Woman struggles to navigate a life where freedom seems like an illusion. As she goes about her daily routines, her internal conflict deepens, all while pretending she is not catering to male fantasies. She imagines herself unseen, believing she has a life of her own, unaware that every move is orchestrated by the pervasive presence of the Man in her mind. Confusion grows as she confronts the paradox of her seemingly independent actions and the ever-present watcher within. In a moment of disquieting clarity, the Woman realizes that her sense of autonomy is an illusion, crafted by the relentless control of the Man who exists both in her world and within herself. She becomes the woman watched by a man within herself, her own voyeur, caught in the intricate web of her own perceived freedom.
