Camino a casa
Executive Producer
Cecilia and Carlos, a daughter and a father, inspired a Norwegian play written by Elin Moe that deals with the consequences left in their lives by the Uruguayan dictatorship. Cecilia directed this film close to the premiere of the play, where Carlos talks about his unspoken truth: his years in prison and his exile.
Una de nosotras
Producer
For more than forty years, Belela Herrera has dedicated her life to saving that of others. The politically persecuted, those displaced by civil wars, and the world's refugees are her concern and vocation. Her story is also that of a woman who defined herself and twisted the destiny reserved for girls of her social class: marrying to a man from high society, having a large family and a comfortable and elegant existence . And it is also the story of a female legacy that is part and consequence of the invisible resistance of thousands of women.
Night Watch
Executive Producer
Fernando (Gastón Pauls), um homem atormentado solitário, consegue um emprego como vigia noturno em um armazém próximo a ser demolido. O edifício é enorme, com vários andares e asas interligados por uma rede confusa de passarelas e escadas. Uma noite, Fernando ouve barulhos estranhos e é abrir uma porta deve ser fechada.

El padre de Gardel
Producer
For thirty years, Carlos Escayola was the main politician of the small town of Tacuarembó, Uruguay. This farmer was known both for his political and cultural achievements (including the construction of a theater), and for the reputation of seducer, which earned him one of the greatest family polemics in the history of the region.
The Marriage
Producer
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.
Noise
Producer
Basilio is a great guy, a poor devil with a huge heart who nobody really notices. Dominated by his wife, humiliated by his colleagues, despised by the man who walks his dog. Basilio decides to give it all up, but in the middle of his suicide attempt he meets three peculiar characters, a noise pollution officer, a young 12-year old girl and a creative and endearing woman who keeps losing her phone. With these three in tow, he wanders through the city, while the noise around him is growing.
Words of Truth
Executive Producer
The documentary looks in the life and work of Mario Benedetti, especially in his poetic work, the keys to an illustrious Montevideo. A man who has had to live several exiles and has received all the awards that this world can give. But above all, the affection of an unconditional, massive and faithful audience that follows him everywhere and pampers him every day with their applause and reading. A sad childhood, a youth full of work and reading, and a maturity full of commitments marked Benedetti. His work testifies the history, that which only artists can tell.
