O Porco e o Seu Espírito
2017 · 11m · Documentary
"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. It is believed that the pig guesses its end, feels death, and on the eve of the slaughter spends the night beating on the door of the court, which is expressed with the belief that that night it gets up seven times to eat the owner". (Adrian Canoura)

The gap
2011
The world is shared among two territories, two states of the being of opposite condition, get strained, are in crisis, to form, to shape what already exists. There’s a wall and there’s always someone who will go and look for what shit is on the other side and maybe on the other side you don’t find what expected. “La Brecha” is a movie that questions the whole concept of artwork while exposing the mechanisms of self-censorship and self-control of the creators at the time of producing their works.
