The Wheel'd Universe

Dancing Plague, a GTA V mod, flips the script. Holding H key forces male NPCs to dance uncontrollably, revealing the game's biased animations where female characters (often sex workers) have the flashiest moves. This disrupts the game's gender roles, making masculinity both playful and challenged. Interestingly, female characters ignore the male dance frenzy. This is a humorous critique of the game's gender politics. The mod's soundtrack, by Azu Tiwaline, blends electronic music with trance traditions, deepening the critique and adding an immersive ritualistic feel.

This film, which was shot on Super-8 and camcorder, is an exploration on forgotten and abandoned sacred sites in England, one of them being the Celtic cross that stands behind a church in Eastbourne.

Surreal film melding documentary footage of Chicago and its residents, featuring fast paced montage sequences set against a rollicking 1960s musical backdrop. The film aptly deconstructs the absurdities of contemporary American life, particularly the thick fog of patriotism engulfing the country at the time.

An embodied investigation into Britain's only named wind - The Helm - WHEN THE CROWS WALKS HOME takes the viewer on an immersive journey with (and by) the Helm Wind.

An Experimental Film about Manchester's "Great Flood". In July 1872, Manchester's River Medlock overflowed its banks due to heavy and continuous rains, resulting in the "Great Flood." The flood severely damaged areas around the River Medlock, with parts of Ancoats and Hulme being particularly affected.

An atmospheric essay, which is an alternative version of Count Dracula, a film directed by Jess Franco in 1970; a ghostly narration between fiction and reality.

La Panadella, an emblematic small road town in decline located in Catalonia, is awaiting the arrival of visitors from a mysterious tower. While its inhabitants and passersby follow their monotonous routines, a strange signal manifests itself.

On a sleepy summer night in 2004, eyes peer into the world-wide-web: traveling between conspiracy sites, malware, porn, and mp3 databases in an attempt to lose (find) themselves. Passing through blog graveyards, broken hyperlinks, and digital spirits, they begin to realize the Internet is so much more. Lost websites, anon forums, and inexplicable pixels singing to a prepubescent soul. An ode to the 2000s webpage and flash game culture.

An experimental short in which a couple engaged in lovemaking is superimposed over ocean and beach scenes.

Canvas becomes a dynamic actor over the course of a 50 minute journey. The paths, far from being a simple cycling route, become brushes that paint the canvas against the terrain, carried along by stone, dirt, and mud paths or bathed in sunlight and rain.

Interspersed with documentation of dancer Juliana Carneiro da Cunha’s "Possession" performance, which draws from Christian mysticism, in the filmmaker’s words this experimental short is about “the psychic suffering of women in a patriarchal society”. It takes the viewer on a disorienting journey—with abrupt cuts in sound and image—through the Catholic Church, repressed sexuality, racial violence perpetrated by white women, maternal fatigue, male chauvinism and drug addiction…

Inscribing the Body

When Today Flows into Yesterday

"U sugghiu" an amphibious and anthropomorphic creature that inhabits the marine and marshy waters around Catania, was last sighted in 2013. A monster, the offspring of a demon and an extinct creature, it is said to feed on human flesh. It is ancient, shapeless, constantly remodeling itself to elude the gaze. Mythology and science merge with an atmosphere of foreboding in the encounter between humanity and otherness.

Bringing the Kuleshov effect into the streets of Culiat.

The Great Basin! Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Desert is a film, book and print project that addresses climate change, the severe drought in the Western United States, gun culture, the military’s use of the basin and range of Nevada for atomic testing, cultural stereotypes, my own personal history, and my experiences in this mostly remote area. In the 15 minute short film I am creating complex collages of my still and motion captures made in Nevada with appropriated short clips from Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, recent weather footage, The Lone Ranger, as well as John Wayne’s and other historic films, cartoons, and many other cultural artifacts, in order to speak to the place and its significance.

This film is a contemplation of life through the prism of war. It is a premonition of global world changes... and a hope for the prudence of humanity. Human beings live in a world of memories, fears and passions, dreams and hopes. In our memories, we increasingly want to return to the world of childhood - summer, where joy and light reign, as opposed to cruel reality, loneliness and existentialism. But it is becoming more and more difficult to get into this world, to dissolve at least mentally in the sun's glare. This film is about man in nature and nature in man, about cyclicality, the beginning and the end - the path to eternity. Autumn is heading towards winter, and we are so eager for light.
