Una ciudad de provincia
Writer
An intimate, amiable and yet unforgettable symphony of the life of every country town in the world in several vignettes – even if this focuses on Colón, a couple of hours north of Buenos Aires. Both lyrical and modest.

Réimon
Writer
This film is a political and poetic portrait of the daily life of a low class woman who plays the part of a cleaning lady. Ramona lives in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Every day she travels four hours and a half to reach her job and to get back home. She divides her working time between two upper middle-class homes where she receives the name of Réimon, a sound that evokes the English language, a Buenos Aires upper class snobbish custom. It´s fiction and it´s not. It´s also a film about the labour conditions of a worker, about the time this worker uses for working and the efforts that implies working. It´s also about the absurdity of cleaning someone else´s house, the absurdity of modern life and the differences between social classes.

Strange Days
Producer
Two young Colombians, Luna y Juan, live in the suburbs of a Buenos Aires without Argentines. Their relationship oscillates between tender gestures and violent explosions. Everything between them gradually gets more intense: their games, fights, recklessness and even their monotony. But something changes when Federica shows up that sets into crisis the fragile nature of their relationship, unveiling the decadence they have gotten themselves into.
A Mysterious World
Writer
Boris is stunned when his girlfriend Ana asks for some time apart. He doesn't know why and she can't explain it. Some time can mean so many things. How much time apart? A week, a month, years? During this imprecise period of uncertainty, Boris is left at the mercy of chance. His life transforms into an erratic urban journey: moving into a transient hotel, buying a temperamental communist-era car, meeting up with a long-lost classmate, random encounters with other women and repeatedly trying to get back together with Ana.

The Uncertain Hope
Assistant Director
This documentary was shot in four countries in the Southern Cone of South America over a two-week period. It examines the democracies that re-emerged after military rule and we hear the testimony of presidents Carlos Menem, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Patricio Alwyn and Luis Alberto Lacalle, and the reflections of many other key figures of that time. There is also an early discussion of the regional integration process that these countries were planning to promote, so we are shown a representative mosaic of each country, which makes this material truly unique.
