Alba
Director
A family dinner is experienced through the eyes of a little girl called Alba, who inherits the magical qualities of her dead grandmother and thus inhabits another world, that of the good spirits. Inspired by Isabel Allende's "The House of the Spirits".
Groundswell
Director
A meditation on the relation between politics and art on a global scale. The film is constructed around a montage of a young white, male painter who is working on a wall with the live figures of a man of African descent and a woman of Asian descent, and appropriated imagery from the news representing global political resistance.
