Home

In this short piece, the beauty of nature is contrasted with images that provide clear signs of decay. Pollution, poaching, deforestation. These are the attacks on our home. In the film we see ordinary people who are at one with their environment. The message: we need nature and nature in turn needs our understanding of its fragility…

CHROMASCOPE is a short film documenting Barcelona-based photographer Olga De La Iglesia’s reflections on her work and, more specifically, her unique way of approaching color.

Air

Through an observational and distinctly unconventional lens, 'Air' studies the emotional resonance of significant instances of human connection when subtracting actual physical contact. By examining these seemingly odd gestures, we reframe this adaptability and craft an anthem that artfully pays tribute to the human spirit and its resilience, celebrating its idiosyncratic poetry with visual curiosity in a modern cinematic language…

Ebulição [ebullition]

The overflow of thoughts and feelings of a woman who is – perhaps – myself. The inner journey is always a door to an epiphany or madness. May we have the courage to hear our thousands of voices when the world is silent. Was 2020 a call? Are we going to honor it and take responsibility for the life we are living or are we going to ignore it in the rush of hours, money, and greed?

Incredible Apartments

Tonya walks out of an elevator into an exquisite lobby, stunned. She reminisces earlier that day (on a different floor) about the sunlight coming from the big window of a yoga couple’s apartment overlooking the Russian mountains. Next door, two girls defied gravity on a trampoline, never touching the sky-high ceilings. She visited the badminton court and grocery store, straight out of a fashion magazine…

Le Périple d'Abélla

One of the biggest side effects of the pandemic was the time that it gave us to think about ourselves and our world more than ever before. Yes, at first like everyone else my friends and I also felt imprisoned but on the other hand, we appreciated that and used it as an opportunity to raise our voice. Besides the reconfiguration of the world, the most important motivation for us to produce “Le Périple d’Abélla” was racism which is rising non-stop nowadays…

Write Your Story

From its inception, Write Your Story was designed to explore the concept of freedom. We sought references like Tati’s “Playtime" and Welles’ “The Trial” which are set in cold and inhuman corporations and deal in the individual’s attempts to emancipate themselves from their surroundings. Therefore, our ideal setting would be an impenetrable space arranged around geometric forms; static compositions and diegetic lighting would aid in creating the desired sense of orderliness…

NONEXISTENT.

Nonexistent is a short film shot in quarantine with the fewest available resources. Words like insomnia, stress, worry, sadness and uncertainty have led me to create this short film called Nonexistent, where I reflect and experiment with desolation and the fear of losing our memories prior to confinement…
