L'alemany de la botiga de fotos

June 1940 marked the closure of “Foto Esporles” and the end of Francesca “Rosseta”’s contact with her neighbor, photographer Leo Israel Frischer. Leo, a European Jew fleeing Nazism, arrived in Mallorca in the 1930s. By June 1940, he and many others faced expulsion from Spain. Stripped of nationality and resources, they had to escape a war-torn Europe. The film follows Leo’s journey from Hamburg to Tangier, Esporles to Miranda de Ebro concentration camp, and Wales, highlighting the social, legal, and personal struggles of Jewish refugees in Mallorca during WWII.

De espalda al sol

This documentary collects, through the testimonies of five survivors, four women and one man, the tragedy experienced in “la Desbandá de Málaga and the subsequent exile to France. At the entrance of Queipo de Llano's troops into the city of Malaga, thousands of people, mostly women and children, fled to Almería along the road. They were bombed by sea, land and air by the German army, Mussolini's army and Franco's troops from the then Moroccan colony. Around five thousand people died on these two hundred kilometers of road. This exodus was known as “La desbandá”.

M-HOLE

Video-reality film, showing the archive of a week in the life of Ian and his relationship with drugs and different subcultures in Madrid. In digital video format, the film works with the “poor image” and is constructed through the documented archive of a real week, where the camera appears as another character, a machinic-sensitive extension of the protagonist himself. Ian constructs landscapes (sonorous and visual) to document the residual dissociative experience of his relationship with various drugs throughout a period of his life. The film M-HOLE constitutes both a therapeutic and documentary attempt to expose, through the archive, the aesthetic experiences that follow him during a week of his life. This experimental-documentary film addresses the issues faced by youth in confronting precarity and chemical policies in relation to the pathological avalanche of our times.
