Down The Mountain
The Mosquito Dance
Between the past and the present, an omniscient narrator travels through places, objects and people, while awakening memories disturbed by phantom gears. The result of collecting and interpreting life stories that unfold over the landscape of the foothills of Serra da Estrela, A Dança dos Mosquitos is a cinematographic essay that seeks to give stage […]
ARTS 4 People and Earth
As part of the “ARTS 4 People and Earth” project, five films were made that delve into the relationship between human beings and society with the environment and nature and with the climate emergency from different perspectives. Each film encapsulates a unique story and narrative, but they all share a common thread: the Serra da […]

A human body moves in nature. Body kinetics mixed with creative contemplation based on the narrative syncope of an ecology of relationships, existentialism and philosophical thought converted into cinematographic language. How can we find in the image the codes that necessarily aggregate the relationship between the human-animal-ontological and nature-essence?

The images are accompanied by a poem describing what it’s like to live in small towns along the Mississippi […]

“Definition of forest” (2024) is a documentary and experimental short film in search of a forest behind the concept. Its unruly voice-overs draw the viewer down conflicting paths, never forming a single, compatible vision or an entire forest. The film delves into the shared life of humans and forests and suggests peculiar questions with no […]
