I really have to disagree with the previous review of Mating Call. I really like this short. The movie is ingenious and enjoyable. This film shows a unique perspective of mating / dating in New York City. In a 3 minute film, Patricio Serna compares the mating call of animals to that of the modern couple in NYC. Serna directed, wrote, and acted in the film. He has done a great job creating an amusing short film. The cinematography is also quite good. This is simply a good short film. I would expect Patricio Serna to continue to excel at creating interesting films. I hope he expands his repertoire to include full feature films. Finally, I applaud Landmark theaters for showing short films along with trailers. There are just not enough venues for short films to be seen.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
