Oscar Arias: Without a Shot Fired
Director of Photography
This is the story of a tiny country that made a decision to do something that no other country had ever done -- it decided to abolish its army and declare peace to the world. And this is the story of a young boy who grew up in that country, and how he ended up challenging -- and sometimes even convincing -- the greatest powers in the world to follow Costa Rica's example. "Oscar Arias: Without a Shot Fired" is a Don Quixote-like saga with great historical touchstones -- Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, Cold War politics and Communism, Central American War and Peace. It follows a slight, academic, and most unlikely hero over the course of more than fifty years, as he travels the world in a quest to stop the spread of the weapons of war. In the end, it is a story about the triumph of reason, of the sparrow triumphing over the eagle, and how the impossible dream can sometimes come true.

Joe Strummer: Vida y muerte de un cantante
Cinematography
Biografía de Joe Strummer, antes, durante y después de estar al frente de la mítica banda The Clash. Incluye conversaciones, entrevistas y actuaciones en directo inéditas y también la recuperación de las grabaciones originales de su programa de radio para la BBC. Además de crear The Class, se adelantó a su tiempo con The Mescaleros y, después de su muerte, sigue siendo el músico más influyente del punk-rock. Y tras el mito, el hombre: el niño que nació en Turquía con el nombre de John Mellor y que era tan vitalista como autodestructivo, rebelde, contradictorio, apasionado y mesiánico. (FILMAFFINITY)
