Ver es un acto
Music
Herminia is 63 years old, and Victor, her partner, is 33. He works as a housekeeper, while she spends her days laughing and sharing cigars with her friend Sole (48), who has had a relationship with Osvaldo since they were children. Together with their other companions at the Putaendo Psychiatric Hospital, they share friendship and life. They dream, form sides, fight and also love each other. They live maintaining the hope of leaving the place that for many decades has made them invisible from everything. Will their love be able to transform the look?
Sueño con trenes
Camera Operator
Un recuerdo difuso de mi abuelo me sumerge en un viaje. En él, transito por unas vías casi abandonadas por las que pasan unos pocos trenes. La amenaza latente de que ese tren nos pase se transforma en el miedo a perder ese recuerdo. En un acto desesperado, recurro a la memoria de mi abuela, a los álbumes de fotos y a los pocos registros que tengo de vhs para intentar comprender cómo funciona la memoria afectiva. Pero es Bautista, mi sobrino de 6 años, la persona que se encarga de mostrarme otra forma de acercarme a los recuerdos. “Sueño con trenes” es un retrato familiar donde se encuentran tres generaciones para dialogar sobre la memoria personal y colectiva.

El país sin indios
Screenplay
It has often been said that Uruguay has no remaining indigenous population. Roberto and Monica, who are two charrua descendants, vindicate their heritage and make us look back into the past to question the present. In a society that denies part of their origins, the quest for identity becomes a challenge.

El Casamiento
Director of Photography
An intimate documentary portrait of an exceptional couple who live in a suburb of Montevideo: Julia, a 65-year-old transsexual whose new gender identity has finally been recognised (after twelve years) by the Uruguayan state, and Ignacio, her lover, a former construction worker with a troubled past. Inseparable for 20 years, the couple are now preparing for marriage. Aldo Garay’s camera follows Julia and Ignacio’s joys and worries, patiently revealing the sources of the strength of their relationship.
Perejiles
Camera Operator
Within the context of the uruguayan press, there's a group of people named "Perejiles". These attend launching parties, inaugurations and all other sorts of events within the uruguayan press with the purpose of free eating. Under a, supposedly, "journalistic patent", their appearance goes unnoticed by most attending these events, except for the press teams consisting of reporters, camera men and drivers or assistants who clearly recognize them and reject their presence.
Divinas palabras
Assistant Production Manager
La acción de este descarnado retrato de la naturaleza humana, basado en la obra de Valle-Inclán, transcurre en la Galicia de principios del siglo XX. Para huir de la pobreza, la esposa de un sacristán de aldea utiliza a un niño hidrocéfalo como atracción de feria. Eso la llevará a enfrentarse a su cuñada, que tiene el mismo propósito, y a meterse de lleno en un mundo en que residen las más bajas pasiones.
