Speciwomen Focus: Kim Torres

Director: Kim Torres

2025 / 66min / DCP

Speciwomen, a non-profit arts organization that provides space to women and LGBTQIA+ artists for retreat, research, and making, presents a program of four beguiling shorts—Atrapaluz, Luz Nocturna, Solo la Luna comprenderá, and Soñé con un paisaje—by Costa Rican-American filmmaker Kim Torres, recent recipient of a Speciwomen residency.

“Kim’s films are a dedication to bridging narratives of our world, our intimate relational familial world, with the supernatural aspects of our existence. What moves beyond our consciousness. There is a haunting quality to Kim’s films that does not cease to remind me that our subconscious is at work much before our consciousness starts feeling its symptoms. Foremost, it is a place where people come together to uncover, as a vessel for recovering meaning.” —Philo Cohen, Founder of Speciwomen
