"Bs.As." is an experimental documentary film that reframes the history of immigration from Galicia (Spain) to Buenos Aires (Argentina). A Galician man's curiosity about his long-lost relatives who immigrated to Buenos Aires takes him on a surreal journey across times and space. Through travel, photographs, letters, and phone calls he explores the unpredictable ways in which immigration creates both bonds and distance between people and places. "Bs.As." received various awards including the Premio Foco Galicia (Tui, 2007).

Two women filmmakers recover twenty forgotten rolls of Super8 that showed the journey of two Galicians to different places of Japan in 1973, and with this material, and the reflections and emotions of his owner watching the rolls for the first time (the son of the travelers) with her wife, that is Japanish and could not know her father in law that died soon after that trip, these two filmmakers give birth to a new story seeking suggestive relations between the two countries (half of the film is filmed by them in Galicia, also in Super8). This filmmakers during the process of making this film are reading a book of haikus of Basho, that wrote in his lyrical diary "Oku no Oshomichi" about the beauty of some of the places where this Galician couple went to visit in their trip to Japan many centuries later. So some passages of this travelogue are included too.Listen to Me
2016-11-16Taking the elegance and poetic power of the sea as main elements, Andrade subverts the role traditionally imposed on women. From observed objects to subjects that open their eyes to forgotten realities. Images that, when fading out, reflect a world whose sensitivity is mutating. Scenes of a dreamlike quality that borders surrealism so as to show the new order of things.Wild Mane Crop

2017-03-14"Man, in the need to explain and understand the world around him, gives the animal, especially on the symbolic level, the functions performed, at first only for himself.

2013-01-21The story of Kaspar Hauser, who grew up in dark isolation from humanity, it is provided by a Gallician artist with a radical experimental adaptation that aims to be nothing less than a religious message. Black & white 16mm, without the language of reason, eye to eye with the primaeval puzzle. The story of Kaspar Hauser, the German 'wild child' who grew up for 16 years in silence and virtually in the dark in a stable with only a wooden horse as company, remains fascinating, also for filmmakers.Visións
2016-04-15Made by ten directors in Pontevedra, Galicia.Fragmentos de Brand
2012-11-21A tale in four times based in a theatrical performance inspired in the dramatic poem Brand by Henrik Ibsen. Brand wakes up next to a tree in the middle of a desolate space. He seems not remember who is he or what he is doing there. After wandering aimlessly, he meets three unknown who don't speak a word. Without knowing exactly what they want from him, Brand, who sees in everything what surrounds him biblical signs of a divine mission, lets himself be guided by them. From that moment, everything develops as a tale at the same time naive and cruel, in a rough, rude and primitive environment.O cazador
