2 Minutos reviews his career in a live show framed in the celebrations for the twenty years of the band. Registered on August 25, 2007 at the Obras Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Documentary film about the city of Havana.

A tragic story about a gay man torn between his lover and his grandmother.

The first part of a series of diary films made according to structural parameters and completely edited in camera was shot entirely by single frame and varying the zoom lens to create a surrounding and vibrating 360 view of my city, as seen from my rooftop.

The story of Argentina's last thirty years, through the experience of a survivor, Susana Reyes, who was detained while pregnant and taken to the clandestine center known as El Vesubio.

Back at home, José Manuel, a farm labourer from Sierra Maestra in Cuba, is watching a television interview he gave about his work when suddenly there is a power cut. Goaded by frustration, he decides to continue the programme, but this time he interviews the local people; equipped only with his mule and an old television set.

A movie about the Cuban political process and its peculiarities. It is a material about the exercise of a different Democracy from the one that the great centers of power try to impose. “Acts, not words”, shot entirely in Cuba with the direct testimony of men and women of all ages, is a painting of the authentic reality that is lived in the Republic of Cuba. It's a documentary about the experience of that people in the promotion of human rights. It's the sample of an essentially human work that not only spoils the slanderous campaigns of the United States, but also suggests with modesty and simplicity that a better world is possible.

Alÿs’s motto for When Faith Moves Mountains is “Maximum effort, minimum result.” For this epic project the artist invited five hundred volunteers to walk up a sand dune on the outskirts of Lima, Peru, shoveling in unison, thus displacing the dune by a few inches. Demonstrating a ridiculous disproportion between an effort and its effect, the work is a metaphor for Latin American society, in which minimal reforms are achieved through massive collective efforts. Participants in the project gave their time for free, reversing conservative economic principles of efficiency and production. Embracing rumor, urban myth, and oral history, Alÿs aims to make works that continue beyond the duration of the event itself, through stories disseminated by word of mouth.

My Wedding Day - whay could go wrong?

A pig is roasted over an open fire, the spit attached to the back wheel of a car. When the car accelerates the pig turns at different speeds, while the voice of Residente Calle 13, a young reggaetón singer from Puerto Rico, addresses the viewer in Spanish. He draws on examples of non-human social organizations, such as those among bats, termites, and ants, for possible alternative modes of being-in-common and describes a possible path for contemporary experience. The world he describes is an antagonistic state of order and disorder, civility and barbarity, in an age of armed globalization.

Analyzes the attitude of Puerto Ricans within consumer culture.

On cultural adaptation.

A historical account of the complex plot surrounding police brutality in Puerto Rico, by means of vivid videos intertwined with eyewitness accounts. The documentary is a reflection of the near mute reality that affects societies everywhere, a situation in which protectors victimize those they have sworn to protect.
