My Imaginary Country
Director of Photography
“Outubro de 2019, uma revolução inesperada, uma explosão social. Um milhão e meio de pessoas manifestaram-se nas ruas de Santiago por mais democracia, uma vida mais digna, uma melhor educação, um melhor sistema de saúde e uma nova Constituição. O Chile tinha recuperado sua memória. O acontecimento de que eu estava à espera desde as minhas lutas estudantis em 1973 e que finalmente se materializou.” Patricio Guzmán
Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire de Jacques?
Camera Operator

Days of Cannibalism
Director of Photography
A Western-like documentary set in a remote rural region in Lesotho: a frontier space where the ways of modern society are of little, if any, value. The arrival of economic migrants from China has irrevocably upset the balance of power, as old laws and ancient gods are doddering away. Subtle moments and small gestures reveal the trauma of expatriation, the burden of personal sacrifice, solitude and alienation, as well as the painful experience of otherness. As old structures begin to disintegrate and violence is about to erupt, one rule asserts itself above all others: eat or be eaten.
The Cordillera of Dreams
Director of Photography
No Chile, quando o sol nasce, tem de subir colinas e montes até atingir o topo da Cordilheira dos Andes. No Chile, a cordilheira é tudo. Mas para os cidadãos chilenos, é um território desconhecido. Depois de ter ido para Norte em Nostalgia da Luz e para Sul em O Botão de Nácar, Guzmán quis filmar de perto esta imensa coluna vertebral para explorar os seus mistérios, revelando poderosas informações da história do passado e do presente chileno.

The Party Is Over
Director of Photography
Despite their differences, Celeste and Sihem quickly become inseparable. The common will to get out of drugs seals their fusional friendship.

They will have to fight to finally live.
Coming of Age
Director of Photography
In the Lesotho highlands, a 15-year-old boy tends his family's flock of sheep alone through the winter. His younger brother might have to quit the village school to help him.
