MAICOL

This documentary follows a group of film students into a pursuit/quest/search as uncertain as it is essential: to discover what kind of films are worth making today. They dig into lost metaphors that seem to have been missing and explore the ways of storytelling in the face of the current climate. Rather than seeking definitive answers, they encounter a collective process towards an open dialogue, and a vital force: enthusiasm. It is that moving force that remains portrayed as an attempt of passing it on to those who need a reminder of why, making films is still worth it.

Sugar Daddy

A verbose and "old-school" young woman is on her first date. On the way to the old-fashioned café where she'll meet Joaquín, she comes across the new Buenos Aires gastronomic offerings in the Palermo neighborhood and can't help but discuss them on the date. The complaint of nostalgic centennials. Clinging to what remains of the past, so as not to feel its absence, this longing breeds a rejection of the new.
Cortado en Jarrito

The documentary explores how in Argentina, football passion is inherited as an almost sacred legacy. The conflict arises when this transmission doesn't always align with individual desires: between shared passion and one's own voice in the face of a dilemma. Choosing a football team isn't an individual decision, but rather a process of family socialization where loyalty to the club is passed down from parents to children as part of the family's identity and traditions. The club isn't automatically inherited like a surname: it's negotiated, contested, and sometimes betrayed. In this tension (between tradition, choice, and rebellion), the identity of the fans is at stake.
How I do it
In a small rural town where gossip and faith intertwine, Marianela tries to raise her children amid unspoken rules and lingering silences. While her daughter Dolores falls in love with an impossible figure and her son Isidro begins to attend church on his own, suspicions, rumors, and ecclesiastical secrets begin to leak through the cracks of the neighborhood. Menos averigua Dios is a dark comedy about double standards, informal power structures, and the small acts of resistance that shape everyday life in tight-knit communities.
