The Year of the Radio (El año del radio)

WarnerMedia OneFifty Latino Short Film Award

Mexico in the 90s. Alex, a 7-year-old boy, and his little siblings are left in the care of senile Aunt Lola while their mother works as a host on a radio station. Alex misses his mother and, along with his siblings, they listen to his mother’s show every night, building strange imaginary worlds through the stories they hear, the news, the radio soap operas, and the religious influence of his great-aunt.

Samuel Kishi Leopo studied Visual Arts at Guadalajara's University. His work has been selected in more than 100 international film festivals, including Clermont-Ferrand and the Berlinale with his first film We Are Mari Pepa and Los Lobos.
