The Chapel
Director of Photography
Emma wants to learn how to communicate with the spirit of a girl who has been trapped in a hermitage for centuries, and to that end, she tries to persuade Carol, a sceptical medium, to help her.
The Visit and a Secret Garden
Director of Photography
Little is known about the figure of Isabel Santaló, an old artist, today fallen into oblivion. But occasionally some visitors come to her flat. Through them and the voice of Antonio López (Dream of Light, Víctor Erice), the only painter who remembers her, we shape a multifaceted film. This is a cinematic portrait, which well into the film takes a surprising turn. A film that reflects on memory and oblivion, art and the creative process; posing the question of what it means to be an artist and a woman.

Director of Photography

All the Other Days
Cinematography
Editor and short filmmaker Carlos Agulló chooses a particularly difficult subject to begin his career as a documentary filmmaker with Los demás días: the moving daily life of Dr. Pablo Iglesias, a palliative care doctor, who shows us the demanding and emotional gaze of those who have to face death and offers us a whole lesson in life.
The Propaganda Game
Director of Photography
North Korea. The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating. Formerly known as “The Hermit Kingdom” for its attempts to remain isolated, North Korea is one of the largest sources of instability as regards world peace. It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.
La extraña elección
Camera Operator
While Andrea unfolds a labyrinth on the ground of her new home, Fran verifies that his efforts to recover the wisdom of the elder bear fruit and Flo plants a yew surrounded by friends. They made a strange decision: living in a town. However, they affirm that their posture is something normal. They say that it is the others who take unusual decisions and they are obligated to confront complicated challenges: like staying in a territory when not finding a rental house; like to keep organizing activities when the money the association was waiting for was used to buy designer ashtrays; like not manifestating when the corporations want to do fracking test in their region.

Signal
Cinematography
It is not a question of long conversations. It is not a question of living together for years. Sometimes, in a place where people pass each other by, in a matter of minutes you can find yourself connecting with someone else.
