The Fifth Gospel of Kaspar Hauser
Mon, 21 Jan 2013
The story of Kaspar Hauser, who grew up in dark isolation from humanity, it is provided by a Gallician artist with a radical experimental adaptation that aims to be nothing less than a religious message. Black & white 16mm, without the language of reason, eye to eye with the primaeval puzzle. The story of Kaspar Hauser, the German 'wild child' who grew up for 16 years in silence and virtually in the dark in a stable with only a wooden horse as company, remains fascinating, also for filmmakers.

The gap
Wed, 31 Aug 2011
The world is shared among two territories, two states of the being of opposite condition, get strained, are in crisis, to form, to shape what already exists. There’s a wall and there’s always someone who will go and look for what shit is on the other side and maybe on the other side you don’t find what expected. “La Brecha” is a movie that questions the whole concept of artwork while exposing the mechanisms of self-censorship and self-control of the creators at the time of producing their works.

Bs. As.
Tue, 31 Jan 2006
"Bs.As." is an experimental documentary film that reframes the history of immigration from Galicia (Spain) to Buenos Aires (Argentina). A Galician man's curiosity about his long-lost relatives who immigrated to Buenos Aires takes him on a surreal journey across times and space. Through travel, photographs, letters, and phone calls he explores the unpredictable ways in which immigration creates both bonds and distance between people and places. "Bs.As." received various awards including the Premio Foco Galicia (Tui, 2007).
O Porco e o Seu Espírito
Tue, 14 Mar 2017
"Man, in the need to explain and understand the world around him, gives the animal, especially on the symbolic level, the functions performed, at first only for himself. It is believed that the pig guesses its end, feels death, and on the eve of the slaughter spends the night beating on the door of the court, which is expressed with the belief that that night it gets up seven times to eat the owner". (Adrian Canoura)

Fragmentos de Brand
Wed, 21 Nov 2012
A tale in four times based in a theatrical performance inspired in the dramatic poem Brand by Henrik Ibsen. Brand wakes up next to a tree in the middle of a desolate space. He seems not remember who is he or what he is doing there. After wandering aimlessly, he meets three unknown who don't speak a word. Without knowing exactly what they want from him, Brand, who sees in everything what surrounds him biblical signs of a divine mission, lets himself be guided by them. From that moment, everything develops as a tale at the same time naive and cruel, in a rough, rude and primitive environment.
