The Ocean Analog
Director
“The ocean is the only crossing to reach Mount Analogue. Through each wave, which breaks into each of the primary colours, a gateway opens to a new perception...”. First piece of a short film series, inspired by the pre-Hispanic myth of the Sixth Sun.
the eyes empty and the pupils burning with rage and desire
Director
Expanded cinema performance with two modified 16mm-projectors that reduce the essence of film and projection to the bare minimum: no image, sound or narrative. From frame to frame, the filmmaker balances on the edge in an improvisation comprised of light, dark and focus, with the film emulsion at a constant boiling point.
25 cines/seg
Director
During the filming of a documentary about abandoned cinemas, a conflict of interest between the director and producer prevents the film from being shot. This won’t stop the cinema from being demolished… or a documentary from being made about it … or the director from managing to make the film…
The Kiss
Director
A structural re-shooting and re-recording of the 1896 Edison film of the same name.
Spectral Landscape
Director
Exploring the space between reality and dreaming, Luis Macías’ expanded cinema performance using four slide projectors, an external shutter and colour gels stages the emergence of an animal-like presence from within the darkness. Subtle alternations of imagery gradually develop, evoking a transformation. With live music by Alfredo Costa Monteiro.
I can't see the sixth sun
Writer
"I can´t see the sixth sun” is a film performance which explores nature, man's cosmovision and the need of living meaning of the world to understand how it was created and thereby control it... and destroy it, then...is the sixth sun coming?
