Notes on the Other

On July 13, 1924, Ernest Hemingway was on a balcony in Pamplona, Spain and saw a wounded main lying on the other side of the street. He became consumed with the feeling that he was that man, seeing himself in the near-dead Spaniard who had been attacked by bulls. "I am him," Hemingway later wrote. It was the very first time he wanted to be someone else, so he created the character of the adventurous writer.

Nunca estuviste tan adorable

Blanca, a capricious, adorable and excessive woman, has made two decisions in her life. The first, 20 years ago: marrying Salvador, owner of a prosperous mechanical workshop, to abandon the poverty of Barracas, going to live "near the President's house," as she always dreamed of. The second, 20 years later: changing the old furniture of her wedding to be in tune with the times: 1955. In the midst of the bustle, an anonymous gift surprises the whole family: a brand new TV, carefully wrapped and a card: "For Blanca… .You already know who." Blanca's narcissistic Hollywood fantasies, fueled by a mysterious admirer who sends expensive gifts, her children, her close friend and a husband who vanishes from loving gaze, complete the picture of this hilarious and hilarious comedy of a family drama.

Women's Memoirs

The Punta de Rieles prison was where most female political prisoners were incarcerated during the dictatorship in Uruguay. The way up to the building led through “the meadow” where there were animals grazing, and the prison itself was surrounded with flowers. The place seemed eminently liveable, almost comfortable, and at first sight there was no sign of the silent struggle going on behind those walls. This documentary is an attempt to reconstruct life at the prison through the testimony of some of the hundreds of women who were there and who resisted the military regime's attempts to grind them down and destroy them.

Remnants of Everest: The 1996 Tragedy

As darkness fell on May 10, 1996, a fast-moving storm of unimaginable ferocity trapped three climbing teams on the slopes of Mount Everest.

This film tells the story of the five climbers who perished in this storm, marking the worst climbing tragedy in the history of Mount Everest. But most remarkably, it's the story of eleven climbers caught in the storm, and eyewitness accounts of their astonishing survival in the world's most unforgiving environment.

Cooking up dreams

This documentary journeys to the kitchens of Peru's coast, highlands and jungle, as well as Peruvian expat communities in Paris, London, Amsterdam and New York for answers. From the most humble family kitchens to the poshest restaurants, from stories of pioneering Peruvian chefs abroad to those who preserve ancient recipes at home, we find that Peru's cuisine is deliciously integrating for its people, who have historically been marked by ethnic and economic differences. Renowned chefs such as Gaston Acurio, Ferran Adria, Juan Mari Arzak and Bernardo Roca Rey share their views on Peru's cuisine alongside those unsung chefs, who also dream of Peru's cuisine as a motor of development.
