Lines
Documentary
Blanka is a woman in her 50s, alone in her apartment and in her life. Matuš, a young and motivated activist, hopes to become a councillor of his municipality despite his lack of marketing savvy. A cool real estate agent sells the notion of a happy life through Bratislava apartments. Two collegial road workers paint road markings and when their shift is over, they drink beer in their boarding room and ponder the indifference of the city inhabitants. Danko, a queer music composer, lives in the city centre with his mother in a modest flat. He takes long walks, listening to urban sounds, trying to capture the rhythm around him. Lines is a visual essay, a tangle of stories and observations, set in the exemplary post-socialist city of Bratislava, a place experiencing dynamic transformation.

Lo que pasó entre medias
Documentary
The cell phone in my right hand and the microphone in my left hand document what happened between studying film between 2019 and 2023, following my friends in the cities of Madrid and Prague and being lucky enough to barely alter their behavior. A very fine narrative thread links the seemingly unconnected events, imitating the disruptive and non-linear nature of our memory. Now I ask myself: What do I remember about these four years? A series of snapshots come to mind that I don't even know how to put in order and that I have tried to protect from oblivion with my cell phone.
