Empire by Ian Freer
Song Without A Name is a true original, at once rooted in a raw emotional reality but told with the striking beauty of a dream. Writer-director Melina León is definitely one to watch.

The film is strikingly fixated on exploring loss and pain on an intimate and personal scale.

The narrative drifts, but the alienation communicated by the movie’s images feels purposeful and striking.
