Encuentro

Two strangers are washed together in a dreamlike space of words, bodies, and ideas as they explore the true nature of difference, acceptance, and free will after a chance meeting in a Buenos Aires plaza. Encuentro tells the story of the coming together of two worlds, that according to social dictates should never truly interact, and explores what happens as a result of that interaction. Encuentro is the collision of real and surreal, black and white, masculine and feminine, native and foreign, and examines the dynamic between 'in' and 'out', accepted and marginalized, as it contemplates the power, the fragility, and the desires that each possess.

Hoy como ayer

A day from the life of Juan Carlos Godoy, singer. In drawn out shots, always from fixed camera angles, the aged entertainer is followed from the moment he prepares for a performance in a restaurant. The camera points towards the hallway, where we see ‘Juanca’ leaving the bathroom and carefully getting dressed. During the long drive to the city of his youth, only showing his face and part of the surroundings dashing past, the first words are spoken, after more than nine minutes. ‘You’re shooting a quite silent film, right?’ The old man sings, sometimes outside the fixed frame, his tango songs - shown in their entirety - makes a few sly remarks, and laboriously eats his uncooked ham sandwiches. The audience adores the tawny performer with his unwavering voice. ‘You are eternal, Juanca’, people praise him. Next Tuesday, he will be back.

Joan Pahisa is 27 years old and has a huge passion: basketball. It would be nothing extraordinary except for a detail: he's exactly one meter tall. Joan's life has not been easy, but sport has helped him go ahead. Last summer he took part in the World Dwarf Games in Michigan, USA, an Olympic-style competition that's held every four years exclusively for little people. Joan was the only representative from Spain because he couldn't find anyone else to go with him. That's why he specialized himself in table tennis, an individual sport. He traveled 7.000 km to feel like at home and also to fulfill his dreams: to be World Champion in table tennis and, above all, to play basketball one more time, most probably the last. His trip will show us how the world is seen from just one meter from the ground. It's not only about sport, it's about life itself.

En trance

Night scenes of a distant and silent Havana. Anonymous voices tell us about places they would like to visit and come back, places they would like to know and never forget. They tell us about the transition moment in which they coexist, a state sketched in the traveler as a building facade cut by the light of the street lamps at night. Impressions of Andrea Novoa’s state of trance, a flaneur, who experiences the mental space that appears when crossing corners and streets of a foreign city, suspended in the time.
