Agadiri y Oussama, dos amigos marroquíes, holgazanean y sobreviven mientras la cámara explora sus cuerpos y rostros. Ambos llevan poco en España y encaran una situación supuestamente temporal, que debe culminar con la definición de su futuro en plena pandemia. Pero las cosas no son sencillas en absoluto. Filmada en interiores, Monte Tropic viaja poco a poco hacia un espacio más indefinido y onírico para cuestionar los recuerdos y deseos de estos jóvenes, cuya inactividad reivindica el derecho a ser por encima del nefasto uso político de su situación.

Trees are everything. In a settlement near the Russian-Finnish border, a traditional family keeps shamanistic rituals alive. The children play in the same forest where photos nailed to trees remind us of Stalin's bloody repression. Spirituality and politics meet in this intuitive montage of poetic impressions, historical material, nature shots, family scenes and probing testimony.

Si hay un género que dominamos en este país, ese es el esperpento. En esta “histeria” de España, Kikol Grau invoca a un flamante equipo de guerrilleros audiovisuales para sostener un frenético e incisivo espejo deformante: desde Manuel Bartual a Andrés Duque, pasando por Rubén Minchinela, Borja Crespo, David Domingo, María Cañas o Alberto Gracia, entre otros. Radiografía de la historia reciente y Black Mirror cañí, cadáver exquisito que concentra la sangre, el sudor y la caspa de la piel de toro, y por el que desfilan desde el Fary a Rita Barberá, se habla de temas candentes como el independentismo, y hay fútbol, tortilla y safaris, entre mil cosas nuestras más.

Oleg Nikolaevich Karavaichuk a sus 89 años de edad continúa siendo una figura controvertida y enigmática para la cultura rusa. ¿Quién es este hombre que parece sacado de un cuento de Gogol? ¿Es acaso un siervo del Zar Nicolás II a quien le fue confiado el piano del palacio para mantener vivo el espíritu de otros tiempos? Oleg desafía con su arte la identidad de su país transformándose y reinventándose a cada instante. Nacido en 1927, Oleg fue un niño prodigio que tocó el piano para Stalin, asistió al Conservatorio de Leningrado y, a lo largo de su carrera, ha escrito música principalmente para teatro y cine -por ejemplo, para Paradjanov y Muratova-. En Rusia es admirado por su música y su forma de tocar, pero también por su singular y excéntrica personalidad.

A portrait of young composer Nastasia Krusheva. From a conversation we learn the transgressor power of the interpretation gesture; and then we witness a piano recital that proves the saying is true: "Hands begin at the feet".
Idea
En el año 2004 Andrés Duque realizó el documental Iván Z. Diez años después me acerco de nuevo a la casa y a la figura de Iván Zulueta a través de un texto de Andrés Duque y la figura de Will More, actor fetiche y álter ego de Iván.

While Andrés searches for old movies in Mozambique, he feels haunted by ominous premonitions, anticipating bad news coming from Venezuela, his country, where his father is gravely ill.
Director
After an accident that leaves him bedridden for two months, the filmmaker retrieves discard images he's been collecting for eight years on his computer's hard drive. With them he develops an intimate and poetic film, consisting of portraits of friends, walks through Barcelona and a trip to his native country, Venezuela, where chaos imposes its aesthetic appeal. A complex and fragmented film that shows the world of the filmmaker that sometimes happens to be as absurd and miraculous as a painting by Hieronymus Bosch.

“How many hours could you spend watching this card?”, Pedro P. tells José Sirgado on the film ARREBATO (Rapture, Ivan Zulueta). I keep also my favorite album from my childhood. It’s called “Man, Races and Customs”. Every page reveals new interpretations, sometimes they are imprecise and weird about who we are and what the world is. – Andrés Duque.
Director
Two unconnected stories that gravitate around literature.

Andrés Duque recorre toda la península como acompañante de un fotógrafo norteamericano que todavía pretende encontrar algunos elementos propios del paisaje y las gentes ibéricas. El film, casi a modo de notas de cuaderno de campo (y no diario, pues estas no se datan), es fragmentado, caprichoso, irónico y, en el fondo, bizarro.
Director
In a corner of Barcelona, a Filipino woman performs every day a ritual that the observer cannot understand. There are connections everywhere, but hidden. But there is no attempt to explain the act in progress, but to grant a place where the performer can show it in all its complexity. The observer experiences the fascination of an outsider, registering her intimate choreography and suggesting, with delicate lightness, the potential connections, as if a veil was torn.

An investigative documentary about Basque filmmaker and artist Iván Zulueta. Caught up in heroin addiction and many personal problems, Zulueta vanished from the scene. This film focuses on the lost and wasted years of the director.
