Se va a acabar...

Tie
Director of Photography
The rubber tapper movement in the 1970s and 1980s, at the Brazilian state of Acre. What is a tie? “It’s the way we found to prevent deforestation. We stand in front of the farm workers and gunmen with our families, women, children and elderly and ask them not to cut down the forest and leave. They are workers too, and we explain them that their future is in jeopardy as well. This heartfelt speech always works. Simple, defenseless, unaware workers are the ones who cut down the forest.” (Chico Mendes. Jornal do Brasil. 13 days before he was murdered.)
Generación artificial
Director of Photography
Una mirada subjetiva sobre la historia de los video jockeys, con un énfasis nostálgico en la relación entre arte y tecnología. De la mano de Julián Lascano, un VJ pionero que busca hackear el cerebro, el director se interna en el laberinto de una discusión metafísica sobre los límites de la experimentación, el artista y su público, y la videorealidad como futuro de la especie humana.
Icaros
Director of Photography
Icaros explores the spiritual universe of the Shipibo indigenous people who live by the Ucayali river, one of the main tributaries of the Peruvian Amazon. Young Mokan Rono sets outs on a journey to discover the ancestral knowledge of ayahuasca, mentored by a wise shaman and by his mother, a master healer.
