Portraits
Director of Photography
Four woman of different generations. Their bodies and faces confronted with a tender and ruthless camera. Explicit and implicit movements; intimacy, shyness and extravagance in a mysterious choreography. A magnifying glass that explores and amplifies their moods, and silences: a shared loneliness.
Interior Bathroom Night
Director of Photography
A woman locks herself in the bathroom. It’s late at night and everything -and everybody- will remain outside her small, claustrophobic world. But before the new day arrives he will knock at the door. This is a combination of dance and the cinematic exploration of the tension between loneliness and contact, a tension we could call intimacy.
Lo Rojo
Director of Photography
Lo Rojo is an experimental collaboration between a musician, a filmmaker and a dancer. The film obsessively explores the dancer's movement to the rhythm of Murga, the popular Mardi Gras music of Buenos Aires. The gaze of the camera enters the female body, making its shapes explode into multiple fragments: the heartbeat, the blood, the red.
