Interview with Júlio(pt)

An excerpt about the troubled, passionate and intriguing relationship of an actor with his own life.

Solitary Eyes(en)

An isolated filmmaker struggles to connect with others in the absence of cameras. When he becomes creatively stuck, the world around him begins to dissolve.

Las Preguntas que Perdimos(es)

Phantasia(xx)

X-ray images were invented in 1895, the same year in which the Lumière brothers presented their respective invention in what today is considered to be the first cinema screening. Thus, both cinema and radiography fall within the scopic regime inaugurated by modernity. The use of X-rays on two sculptures from the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum generates images that reveal certain elements of them that would otherwise be invisible to our eyes. These images, despite being generally created for technical or scientific purposes, seem to produce a certain form of 'photogénie': they lend the radiographed objects a new appearance that lies somewhere between the material and the ethereal, endowing them with a vaporous and spectral quality. It is not by chance that physics and phantasmagoria share the term 'spectrum' in their vocabulary.

In Ictu Oculi(eu)

The six-decade transformation of a block of houses, shown by means of artfully featured archival shots, highlights the beauty and sadness of human-made decay. In the blink of an eye 66 years pass by and a savings bank replaces a church.

Dois passos na mesma poça(pt)

500 Years Later(es)

A short city symphony evocation of present day Mexico City five hundred years after the invasion of the Spanish and the fall of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan.

Reflection(pt)

Jonathan, the doc's director, standing in front of a mirror recalls an event from his childhood, reflecting on the image he has of himself. To do this, he immerses himself in his past. All of this happens extremely fast, like the duration of a thought and the format of a micro short.

Santa Lucia(de)

This film has no story - one could be born at any moment. His characters are the composition of the composition that, in the time they live in, is the composition of the time in which they live. The situations are exemplary, they come from the reality of dreams, a movement takes on several dimensions, gives the impression of simultaneity, the passage of time is not perceived.

Reila(nl)

Caught(es)

In this innovative blend of documentary and fiction, Rosa and Paloma, two trans Latina sex workers in Queens, New York, fight transphobic violence, persecution from the police, and defend their cases of trafficking in an increasingly anti-migration political environment in the U.S.

Three Venus(es)

Love and admiration in 16mm. The fusion a beauty that exists throughout three generations; my three Venus.

All this Roughness(es)

An unnamed passer-by is forced to trace a circular route inside an abandoned tram station, facing loss and time. The broken walls act as a channel, transmitting fragmentary, blurred and analogical memories. 

Projections(en)

The innovative and influential British filmmaker Derek Jarman was invited to direct the Pet Shop Boys' 1989 tour. This film is a series of iconoclastic images he created for the background projections. Stunning, specially shot sequences (featuring actors, the Pet Shop Boys, and friends of Jarman) contrast with documentary montages of nature, all skillfully edited to music tracks.

Beautifully Derelict(de)

A melancholic look at Mainz's Jubiläumsbrunnen, whose decayed charm is in a state of conflict with other buildings in Mainz.

The Last Piece: Essay I(es)

Disrupt, reject, destroy, avoid: At the interrupted rhythm of the broken photographs that a granddaughter has rescued from her grandfather’s hands, the last piece reconstructs the memory of an older man who has decided to leave behind his life impulses to surrender to sleep and calm. An essay on the act of joining our memories, the illusion of remembering and the freedom to forget.
