Family Time
Director of Photography
It’s Christmas time and the family has gathered. Everything goes on as it did the previous Christmases, with grandpa drinking too much and grandma trying to keep everyone in the mood. After the Christmas holidays, everyone returns to their own homes until it's time to gather again, this time for a funeral.
The Swirl
Cinematography
The Swirl is starkly beautiful images in soft pastel pink and twitchily advancing stop-motion. It begins when a primary school teacher invites a student on holiday. “In sixth grade, some say that the teacher isn’t so nice.”
Hollywood
Cinematography
11-year-old Emma and Yasra fight to become Hollywood stars. They practice song and dance, read tabloids, and have set up a budget to reach their goal in a portrayal of not being seen, which is both humorous and moving at the same time.
Nobody Meets Your Eyes
Director of Photography
They are everywhere without us observing them. These ‘invisibles’ can only be seen on camera and only heard thanks to a microphone. Footage shot in public spaces shows people who seem non-existent to everyone else in the frame.

The Land That Rises and Descends
Cinematography
We tend to see our geographic map as static. On the contrary, this work full of subtlety shows us that life in an archipelago is by nature affected by the winds and tides which constantly change its shape. As the film says, "the sea will be land, and the land was once sea."

Family Time
