Triple Exposure is a landscape film created with cinematic accelerations, a cluster of distorted visual impressions from the nature, a dynamic trip through the forest of the region of La Selva, Girona. The approach to the figurative elements (branches, leaves, trees, bushes, birches, heaven) are transformed by different optical effects to stand between the lyrical and the abstract.
Color Spectrum shows the comings and goings of passersby on a boardwalk. Multiple exposure and color filters transform human figures in ghostly presences of variable color shades.
Natural focus documents the natural landscape in black and white. By varying the opening of the diaphragm, re-framing with the zoom, changing film speeds, transforming the notion of time and superimposing different shots is a dialogue between fact and technological device it represents.
Elephants' Test is a test, an experiment performed to elephants. It is also a cinematic appropriation, a manipulated found footage, bleach faded and scratched. Two tests in one: the first one was carried out by a French expedition in the African jungle to discover the behavior of a herd of elephants, the second one was self-made from super 8 documentary material.

Definition is an approach of the urban landscape from an unusual point of view. It depicts a combination of shots –filmed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn– taking advantage from the mechanical options of the medium: transforming the focus, the equilibrium, the depth of field and the definition of the image as well as the environment.
Nif Fin is an experimental film about the end of a film with actress Carmen Sevilla as the leading role. Retaking the last shots through out of focus, this structural found footage piece recycles the original footage, by means of changing his narrative continuity. It misrepresents the cause-effect pattern to propose a new ending that challenges the notion of happy ending.

Projecting parallel straight lines converging at a geometric point in a conical projection system where the sum of the factors encourages escape.
A collective effort about the recent history of Spain. A distorting mirror, a radiography, a rotten but exquisite corpse: the blood, the sweat, the dandruff of a country in the shape of a large and extended bull skin. A parade of freaks. The ridiculous independence of the upstairs neighbor, the sovereignty demanded by an insane parrot prisoner in its open cage. Football, potato omelette, kings and safaris. Things not to do again. Guerrilla cinema. Hysteria of Spain.
Produced for Audiotalaia's Ruido VĂrico festival in May 2020.
Home movie holes recovers fragments of amateur short films located in a domestic environment, decomposed in a systematic way. Highlighting the initial holes of several reels of 8mm, this piece is structured as a nostalgic review of the process of digitalizing footage. This materic film is edited under a preconceived method that reveals the fragility of memory.
