Ese Soplo
Camera Operator
At 88 years old, my grandfather Fernando suggested that we make a film together. His proposal comes when I tell him I'm moving out of his house. So we started filming, me with my camera and he with his. Although we have lived together for more than 20 years, it is through the camera that we see each other like never before. That Breath is an intimate record of our bond, love and loss, in search of understanding what it means to be alive.

Sueño con trenes
Producer
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.
Ópera Prima
Producer
A trip across various parts of the world and of other times to understand my ideologic heritage and what to do with it. Opera Prima is my first look at the world that becomes a mirror in which to recognize myself.
El hombre congelado
Producer
Navegando en un buque de la Armada Uruguaya, un grupo de soldados ve su vida consumida por el riesgo y el cansancio. Su destino es la Antártida y atravesarán el tormentoso océano para entregar provisiones en una base científica. Su viaje, a menudo interrumpido por icebergs, es largo y lleno de peligros. Al llegar a su destino, el paisaje se vuelve dominante y los hombres van desapareciendo lentamente. Allí, en medio de la tormenta, todo rasgo de humanidad se ha borrado y el mundo nos diluye en las aguas del deshielo.
