Gluttony

Gluttony is a haunting exploration of the devouring mother archetype, embodied by two twin dancers locked in an eternal cycle of consumption and dependency. Through visceral contemporary movement, the film unravels the tension between nourishment and destruction, love and suffocation. Inspired by the Ouroboros, the choreography unfolds in a labyrinthine setting, where the daughter desperately seeks escape, only to find herself inevitably drawn back. The visual language plays with the abject—orange gelatin evoking amniotic fluid, fractured reflections, and tactile imagery that blurs the boundaries between bodies. It is not just about gluttony; it is about inheritance, identity, and the inescapable hunger for connection.

The Shadows of the Jaguar

Memory is fragile, and mine perhaps even more so. I make notes or create clues that allow me not to forget, but at the same time help me cross the threshold of death. My seven-year-old daughter Iune has battled rhabdomyosarcoma. To find healing from the experience, I created a four-part ritual in four directions. A journey back home to Mexico. A journey that has been abstract and confusing, yet filled with symbols and meaning. This expanded cinema experience is built from the director’s random, yet sometimes methodical and systematic notes.

Light Machines

A series of sunsets filmed over the course of a year are traversed by rays of light that permeate the Super 8 film through a structure of intentional light leaks. These create overexposed images that, in turn, intermingle with virtual sunsets and landscapes, creating a continuous flicker between natural and artificial light. The film is based on the idea of “light machines,” understood as devices capable of controlling and transforming light. Several of these machines are used in this film: the camera itself, filters, 3D lighting, flashlights, and crystals, which serve to materialize a constant contrast between structural control and the unpredictability of capturing flashes of light.

La Bienvenida

Miguel and Lucía are two children who spend the afternoon in the village as usual, playing and bothering the neighbors, but their daily routine is interrupted by the arrival of a new, unknown visitor to the village. The children try to find out who this visitor is by playing at being spies as they follow him around the village, but Miguel is convinced that he is hiding something. In the middle of their investigation, the stranger arrives at Lucía's house, and there they realize that this stranger is her father, whom she never knew.

One Summer Day, I Drank Bubble Tea

If you’re an Iranian filmmaker, you’re sure to make it into film festivals. If you’re a Burmese filmmaker, chances are you’ll be on the festival radar, too. It doesn’t matter how good or bad your film is. Two directors reflect on privilege and cynicism, all while trying to maintain a clear conscience. The two reflect: am I being noticed for my work, or because of my country’s political situation? Do you see yourself as an artist or a political activist? Is this nothing but a safari of opportunities that someone still dares to call the film industry?

Colors From The Garden

Based on research in plant chemistry and experimentation with plant-based developers, this project invites us to rethink the way colors can be produced on film. Throughout the changing seasons, we follow the plants as they are submitted to manipulations in the hands of the film's protagonists. Yet it is thanks to the plants' substance that the film reveals itself, in its various forms and hues. Colors from the Garden begins by exploring the codes of documentary filmmaking, from the collective planting to the harvest. Then, visual and auditory links between the gestures of the dyeing workshop and those of the film laboratory create a kind of herbarium-color chart. This film was made during a residency at Ensad Limoges as part of the Chromoculture creative research project, in collaboration with the Cinematheque of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
