Two films about desire compete in the 2019 Cinéma Du Réel, both of them encompass the masculine ways of desire and coincidentally are directed by women film directors: the long feature A Wild Stream (2018, Mexico) directed by Nuria Ibañez Castañeda (…) and the short film Those who desire (2018, Spain) directed by Elena López Riera, who with a poetical sense, portraits a metaphor of desire by an observational approach to the colombicultura (training of birds) practice in her natal town Orihuela, Spain.
