LATEST PRODUCTIONS

DOCUMENTARIES

I co-directed, co-wrote, filmed and edited this 30' documentary, in a team with other filmmakers working with OTOXO Productions, in Barcelona. The documentary has been realized in 2016 and is now starting his journey through festivals.

On the streets of Barcelona, the most visible yet invisible immigrants of all, struggle to survive through illegal street selling.

Victims of relentless racism, persecuted by the police, and silent for many years, they have finally found a voice and created a union: El Sindicato Popular de los Vendedores Ambulantes de Barcelona, the first of its kind in Europe.

Their demands are simple: more understanding, more awareness, more dignity. Our documentary follows their struggle.

In this series composed of 4 short documentaries, I was co-directos, co-writer, camera operator and editor, in a team of filmmakers working with OTOXO Productions, based in Barcelona. The documentaries were completed in 2015 and are currently participating in many international film festivals.

CARMEN

In life, as in tango, it's possible to break the barriers of the roles imposed by society. Carmen, a Mexican tango teacher who emigrated to Barcelona, ​​explains her experience of life and dance and how she began teaching tango using "the changing role" approach, which allows her students to express their identity in full freedom and fluidity, rather than being refined to their traditional gender role within the dance.

EMILI

 A 78-year-old wood sculptor from the neighbourhood of Poble Sec, Barcelona, tells the story of his love for life and for his work, which he continues to carry out with admirable dedication, despite suffering from a degenerative eye disease, which has almost blinded him. 

NEW ORLEANS PUSSYCATS

A band of street musicians - two Russians and a Catalan - explain how a street musician's life is in Barcelona when one of the instruments is an upright piano, and has to be taken everywhere with them. They also tell the story of how they met, how their lives were in Russia before arriving in Spain, and how they created a New Orleans-style band in Catalonia.

DREA-AKA Murder She Rolled

Roller derby looks like a powerful, aggressive sport for strong women; but is this true? Drea, a Canadian woman who through this sport has found a reason to smile and a place to feel fully accepted and free to express herself, talks about the unity and shared respect between its participants. Roller derby proves to be a sport that all women can do and where each identity is respected.

MUSIC PROMO VIDEO

I co-directed, filmed and edited, in team with my collegue James Royale, this video promo, at the library Siglo de Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) in 2016.

DE VELLUT

Núria Balcells (5 string violin) and Anatol Eremciuc (accordion), fuse sounds from Moldova and Catalonia, playing Astor Piazzolla's tangos, music from the world and their own compositions.

The violin 5 strings, called Quinton, built by luthier Barrey Dudley, combines violin and viola, giving a warm and expansive sound.
Both the artists and the repertoire, offer an intimate concert, versatile, full of joy and tenderness.

OTHER PROJECTS

The "Space of the Humiliacion" is a personal project composed by 6 blocs of interviews recorded on the streets of Barcelona, about humiliacion as a subtle form of violence, experienced by everyone every day.

ESPAI DE L'HUMILIACIÓ

This project is part of the exhibition 60dB/16kHz Bcn. Sents la violència? hosted at the Art Centre Arts Santa Mónica, in Barcelona, from Octobre 18th, 2016 to January 8th, 2017.

The project explains the humiliation as a form of cruel violence, unnoticed and unreported because diluted into our everyday lives, and it ends up being mixed into what we call “normalcy”.

60 DB is the level of sound that corresponds to the noise of the city. 16 KHZ corresponds to a high-pitched, inaudible frequency. The Catalan subtitle of the exhibition – Sents la violència? – plays with the different meanings of the verb “sentir”: “to hear” and, also, “to feel” or “perceive”. The fact that you can’t hear them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
