2013 | B/N | 16:00 The act of opening and closing curtains would seem to be directed by an eye conscious of another eye. By closing the curtains, we have decided that what happens in the interior is not pertinent for the exterior, or vice-versa. This does not necessarily imply that a window without curtains is a public space. To be conscious of another hypothetical gaze is also to find distant company in the solitary urban masses. There, a persecuted consciousness can find a controlling gaze, perhaps opportunely balanced by the possibility of a silent, repetitive, quotidian conspiracy. In the machinery of global neighbors, the passivity of the domestic passerby is a privilege with criminal connotations. And it is necessary to forget this daily criminal drama for these windows to continue shining like innocent frames. Direction: Piazza; Luciano Participation year at FICM: 2016

Mexico will no longer exist! A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult. This is an erratic film that invites us to reimagine the complex relationship we have with the constructed “mexicanidad.” See More
