A daily journey under the capital's ground seen through a microscope. Despite the high numbers of coronavirus contagion, the urban network must continue to function and circulate. The underground air of the subway condenses and allows the invisible virus to be glimpsed among the passengers, the nervous hands that touch everything and nothing at the same time, the noses escaping from the masks. A new body choreography that begins to reveal itself, inserted in a disjointed present that yearns for the functioning of an extinct normality.

Cándido and Leonardo are two 18-year-olds who experience sensations at odds with the conventions of the time and tragically suffer the consequences of the machismo that condemns them. They grew up together, they lived their childhood with the normality that their difference in social class allowed them. Leonardo, son of the landowner, Candido, son of the foreman. They played marbles, cockerels (carob seed), climbed trees and bathed together in the river ... but they discovered each other ... they saw each other for the first time, in a different way.

Pascal had such a battered, so painful, so violent childhood that he would have every good reason to paint everything black. However, the painter from Gençay puts color everywhere, all the time, without respite, without rest. Compulsive and inexhaustible, his art brut is the tool of his resilience. Throughout the bond that is forged with the director, we follow him on the path to recognition.

Callejeras is a documentary about the participation of women in one of the greatest expressions of popular culture still standing: the Cádiz carnival. Carnival is shown as a reflection of a patriarchal society where new voices begin to emerge from the spontaneity of the street. A reflection on the limits of humor and gender stereotypes. Shot in Cádiz, in 2020.

La Clef Revival is an occupied movie theater struggling to preserve an open access to culture.

A mockumentary that follows a delusional young director as he attempts to become the next great American filmmaker.

“The Jungle” is an unconventional take on many problems that refugees in present-day Europe have to contend with. It raises issues like social exclusion, building community above divisions, and searching for a new home. The director immerses us in an unusual place called the Jungle, an immigrants’ camp in the forest bordering the Italian town of Gorizia. The forest is a refuge where they can talk, cook and pray freely. We get to know them thanks to Elisa Menon, an engaged theatre director who decides to stage a performance for the local community with the young migrants. The project becomes an opportunity for them to look deep inside themselves, venture out of their comfort zone, and break down the barrier of mistrust between the two groups. Running against the media’s common images of hostility towards refugees, the film shows that mutual understanding and acceptance are attainable against all odds.

The afternoons are like the agape of living. We devour life to sounds, images and verses.

"Animal Antics" is an absurdist take on the effects of the Anthropocene, from the perspective of a woman and her talking dog Whoopsie on a trip to the zoo. The film is set a few years into the future, when 'The Wild' is no more, its last animal remnants confined to safari parks and zoos. As Sarah and Whoopsie do the rounds of the cages and pens, the dog leaves a trail of increasingly off-beam, off-colour comments, revealing itself as both absurdly precocious and deeply prejudiced. Whoopsie's remarks reflect less on man's best friend than humankind itself, our preoccupation with supremacy and dominance at the expense of the world in which we exist. A hybrid of Desmond Morris, Johnny Morris and Chris Morris, Goddard's film is a surreal, black-comic tour de force in which the anthropomorphic antics of man’s best friend offer up a deathly accurate mirror of mankind's very worst traits.

After humans have destroyed the world (again) an unnamed beast swims up from a forgotten swamp and rebuilds the world from zilch. CASTOROCENE, shifting between essay and semi-fictionalised nature documentary, is a ‘film pome’ dedicated to one of nature’s great architects. Depicting wetlands as the living entity that they are, the camera dwells on a landscape of viscous textures, organic debris and nonhuman sculptures, considering parities between acts of borrowing, rewilding and animal world building. Filmed by artist Alexander Hetherington on 16mm film in the wetlands at Bamff in East Perthshire, Scotland.

Anna and Lucia, two women in their twenties, one Italian and one of Nigerian origin, take turns caring for Maria, a bedridden old lady living in a large, antiquated and silent house. Anna looks after Maria during the day, while Lucia has the night shift: the change of shift is the only moment at which the two young women meet, but in that short span of time the differences between them flare up every day, in a conflict in which each asserts—one at the expense of the other—her own position in the world.
