Sex, Drugs and Homelessness

In Downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row contains one of the largest stable population of homeless people in the United States. Skid Row is not just an area but an example of marginalisation and inequality. "Sex, Drugs and Homelessness" is an exploration of the human condition. The great American social experiment, maintaining the divide with the creation of a “double triple under class, super triple underclass”. A glimpse into the under class as a community and how it has taken shape to exist within the system. Is Skid Row inevitable in the realm of this society or is there hope to reform?

Since You Dance

Núria and Joan have been companions since they were 15 years old. The traditional roles within their marriage have given them 30 years of routine stability. The opening of a family business and the discovery of dance effect a radical transformation in Núria. At 56, Núria looks back reflecting on her past… and she decides to reinvent herself. Joan, sensitive and introverted, feels more and more distant from the Nuri of his youth, and misses her. She is not willing to go back to how things were. This documentary project, wrenched from the heart, gives us the inevitable reflection on the harsh human condition.

The Prince of Ostia Bronx

Dario and Maury, two actors refused from any theatre, academy, and cinema have decided to move to the gay Roman nudist beach of Capocotta. Here, they have set their stage, in a place where people come to feel free and unconstrained by the rules of society. Persevering with their philosophy of ‘failure as a new form of victory’ they have become the Principe (the Prince) and the Contessa (the Countess) of the beach. In 20 years, they have gathered their own loyal audience, staging scenes and creating a long repertoire of amateur little movies where they confess the bitter reality of missing the stage, the one “only the so-called ‘gentlemen’ are allowed to deal with.” With irreverent tones of Pop, Dance and Folk music, this film celebrates failure as a parody, making anybody willing to watch, a Prince or a Countess of the non-victories.​

Después de Trujillo

Narrated by Dominicans, Después de Trujillo tells the story of the violent dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo through the marks it left on the landscape. A mix of interviews, archival materials, and new footage, tracks the regime’s quests to tame the nation, and surveys sites where past trauma lives on. Myriad voices—from historians and architects, to activists and torture victims—guide this journey through monuments, memory gardens, and contemporary ruins, moving from the cyclone that devastated Santo Domingo as Trujillo came to power through to the modern architecture erected to consolidate his rule, and the testimonies of resistance that led to his demise. Amid the remanents of dictatorship that live on after Trujillo, questions arise as to how Dominicans manage this violent legacy. Can built environments and natural ecologies attest to the experience of dictatorship? Or, do they help it to be forgotten instead?
