Espera & Sedimento

An empty house. A journey through the corners of a space occupied by three generations of women. Through her family history, the author examines the relationships between the steel industry and the women who coexisted with it, as well as the imprint left by industrialization in the domestic sphere. The film is presented as a sort of archaeological investigation of workers' housing, where empty rooms or inert objects are the only elements that make up the image. In this process, the trace of an ideology of domesticity linked to the figure of the Angel of the Home emerges - whose origin dates back to the end of the 19th century - and which collides with the mentality of the new generations. By questioning forms of patriarchal domination as strongly rooted as the family institution or the idea of home, the film opens a space for the depatriarchalization of memory.

With the help of a committed group of scientists and non-profit organizations, A Whale’s Worth discovers the remarkable, little-known lives of these animals.

30 Years of Darkness

When the Spanish Civil War came to an end, Manuel Cortes was unable to flee the country. After a long journey, he managed to get back home in the dark without being discovered. His wife, Juliana, told him how the winning forces were shooting many of their fellow citizens. Manuel and Juliana decided to dig a small hole in the wall for Manuel to hide in. He could not even begin to imagine that this small hideaway was to become his private jail for the following 30 years. This is the story of the so-called post-war moles, people who had to put their lives on hold in order to escape from the repression imposed by the victors of the civil war.

La cosa nuestra

La Cosa Nuestra is a journey to the most hidden and surreal face of the bovid-bullfighting universe. Fun and tremendous, operating in iconographic cannibalism. It is a work that shows another reading of the national holiday, demystifying it. Confronts the Spanish bullfighting culture with the visions and uses of the bull in other civilizations. This video creation immerses itself in the aesthetic, ritual and cultural universe of the world of bullfighting, rebuilding it critically, but at the same time with healthy irony.

Story of My Name

After a fire destructed my house, I return to the places where I grew up looking for childhood recollections. In this journey appears the memory of a photo for Karin Eitel, a young woman, tortured and detained during the dictatorship, to whom I owe my name. A story that my parents never told me, brings me closer to Karin and not just because of my name. In the background, the memory of a childhood in Chile, a country that reconstructed its democracy omitting its own history.
