Ancora lucciole
Sound
In 1972, in one of his best-known articles, Pier Paolo Pasolini spoke of the disappearance of fireflies. A few months later he was murdered. Since then the fireflies have continued to disappear. But there are still people who remember them.
Cicha symfonia
Director
Deaf people in Wroclaw (Poland) are unaware of the noises and melodies of the city they live in. However, the movement of their hands merges every day with urban sounds and rhythms. Trains, smoke, crevices, reflections and rain evoke passages from the most famous urban symphonies of the history of cinema in a city that could well be exchanged for another.
Variation on The Sunbeam
Director
Variation in real time on the action of the classic work "The Sunbeam," from 1912 by David W. Griffith. The deconstruction of the original work makes possible a fragmentation and reorganization of the stage. The whole work becomes then a recreated choreography, where the characters make the narrative wind on depending on their movements. https://vimeo.com/22696362

El otro mapa de Abauntz
Director
After reading the news about the discovery of the oldest map in western Europe, engraved 13.000 years ago in a stone, the filmmaker goes into the nearest village in Navarre (Spain) to trace, in 25 frames per second, the paths of a new map. Another map for the future. This project was made within the frame of the X-Films prize, at the Punto de Vista International Documentary Film Festival.
