Montana 2026

Directed by Lesly Esparza

Montana is a short experimental narrative that explores the relationship between two girls. Using found footage and other recordings, a story is told in which puberty, longing, and curiosity are intertwined. Datamoshing is used to create the effect on film, and conserves the memory of the narrative in a fluid, transitory way, as if looking into the brain of someone telling the story. Montana asks its viewers to remember what it was like to be small.
