Juvenilia no.1
Thursday, Jun. 12, 2025, 7pm
Diaristic. Crass. Angsty. Unsophisticated. Innocent. Pedestrian. Childish. Homemade.
Veronica is pleased to present eight narrative shorts at Northwest Film Forum, curated by Aurora San Miguel.
Whether produced in school or created on a whim with practically no budget, in each short is a framework later expanded upon in the filmmaker's life. The echoes of youth resonate loudest.
