El Sentir de las Montañas
Director
El Sentir de las Montañas is a work made with members of the Latin American community in London. The documentary is divided into three chapters, through which we meet different people. Trying to better understand some of the situations the Latin American community has lived or is living in London, the film is an exploration of arrival, community and healing. Through the work we hear the story of an arrest, meet a community that plays volleyball, and step into an alternative therapy. Winner of the Warden's Prize, Goldsmiths University of London. Winner at the London Migration Film Festival; shown in galleries and festivals across England, Portugal and Spain. Coming soon on Filmin Latino.
2021–2022
Dos Noches y Tres Días
Director
A documentary filmed in Chinampas, a community in central Mexico from which several members have had to migrate to the United States. It explores the relationship between the community and the nature that surrounds it, always in the presence of a wind farm. It asks where the future of communities affected by poverty lies, in a context defined by environmental progress, violence and corruption. Two-channel documentary; presented at APT Gallery and Fitzrovia Gallery, London, as well as the London Migration Film Festival (2021 edition) and Waking Life Festival: Moon Cinema 2022 (Portugal). Filmed in 2018; re-edited in 2021 as Dos Noches y Tres Días.
