Wild, Wild

‘Can you smell that?’ The camera goes deep into the forests of Galicia and the north of Portugal among whispers. We need to sharpen our senses to weave the signs left by wildlife. Wild, Wild tracks images and absences of Iberian wolves. The film navigates a relational history, laden with folk mythology, submission and extermination, and confronts an audiovisual history made of images-simulacrum of the natural wild. This film essay is a nature antidocumentary: it features wolves that look back at the camera, terrified, and humans that can howl. All of us creatures leave traces in this careful dance of tracked trackers.

València, t'estime

A look at the LGBT history of Valencia (Spain) from the 1970s to the early 2000s, a crucial era where a explosion of desire for freedom and the exploration of sexuality marked the beginning of the egalitarian struggle for queer rights. The film showcases testimonies that marked a before and after in the Valencian struggle, and unites activists, historical figures, drag queens, businesspeople and historians to shape a unique yet still unknown history, as well as countless of unpublished archival footage that will get us into a city that proved to be open and plural — The first demonstrations, homophobic assaults, the Brigada 26, the origins of Moviment d'Alliberament Gai del Pais Valencià and Lambda, nightlife venues and cabarets, the trans struggle, the HIV/AIDS outbreak, the first gay bookstore in the city, the first regional lesbian collective; these are some of the topics that tell a universal struggle: to be able to be free and love whoever you want without fear.

La Simienti del'Augua

La Simienti del'Augua tells the story of the restoration of Arab irrigation channels in the region of La Vera, Cáceres. Through the ancient practice of water sowing and harvesting, volunteers and local residents are reviving these water management techniques. The documentary shows how diverting rainwater and meltwater down slopes through dug channels promotes slow infiltration into the soil, preventing its rapid loss into rivers. The restoration of irrigation ditches improves environmental sustainability, promotes biodiversity, strengthens social cohesion, and revives cultural heritage. La Simienti del'Augua highlights how community unity and respect for traditions are key to addressing current environmental challenges.
