The Latin American\/Latinx Video Competition judges are proud to announce Rosa Leia Silva as the 2021 winner of the best film award for her short film First Generation Loneliness<\/strong><\/em>. Rosa Leia\u2019s film portrays the experiences of a first-generation college student who struggles to make her own life choices without disappointing her parents. Latinx students can identify with the immense pressure she feels to accomplish the dreams of her parents who sacrificed so much to be in the United States. The main character is trapped in an endless cycle of long hours of work, classes and lack of parental support. Besides the film\u2019s cultural merits, the aesthetic quality of the film is emphasized with a series of close-up shots that present the interests, occupation and problems of the deeply conflicted main character. The close-up shots of the food and the use of the Spanish language captures the pride in our Hispanic culture and heritage. In light of the absence of these types of representations in the film industry, we hope that Rosa Leia Silva continues focusing her work on the Latin American\/Latinx experience. Congratulations to Rosa and her team for this heart-felt film.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Second Place: Luis Betancourt<\/em><\/h4>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n

In Amasar: Out of adversity comes opportunities<\/strong><\/em>, Luis creates a multimedia presentation that utilizes text, images, graphics, videos and voice narration to inform the viewer about Amasar, an innovative flour blend made of breadfruit. This visually rich account, effectively persuades the viewer about the high quality of this product. Every piece of information provided verbally comes with a visual representation. From the beautiful images of the eco-friendly farm where the breadfruit is harvested to the graphics illustrating the process of converting breadfruit into flour, all the elements of the video create a compelling story of what makes Amasar so great. The improvements that were made to the production of Amasar after the devastating damages caused by hurricane Mar\u00eda showed the resilience of the Puerto Rican people to whom adversity only makes them stronger. Congratulations to Luis for this beautiful presentation of Amasar.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Ariana Martinez\u2019s short film Motherland<\/strong> <\/em>captures the return of the narrator and her mother to her hometown in Ecuador. She describes the traditions, food and the landscape of the city life. As the narrator focuses on the changes that have taken place since she lived there, a nostalgic tone permeates the scenery. A concluding message which says that the narrator loves her mother and Ecuador, reveals that the title Motherland means much more than a native country. Motherland represents the love that she feels for her country and her mother. Congratulations to Ariana for this heartwarming account.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
