The story of a legendary Taiwanese-style home cooking restaurant in Tokyo called Fumin, where patrons not only fall in love with the food, but also the character of Chef Sai Fumi. With her excellent sense of taste and full of love that she got from her parents, she ran her restaurant for 45 years. Now retired at age 70, she welcomes only one group per day at her house to dine, with each dish she prepares having a story behind it. "The experience is a luxury for my guests, and for me, too," said the woman affectionately known as "Mama." "I’ve had a fair share of hardships, but it would be fantastic if I could give back to my guests and make them happy. How long do I plan to continue working? For the rest of my life, of course. This is all I know how to do.” A love letter to the gift of thoughtful cooking, GIFTS FROM THE KITCHEN is a mouth-watering delight.

From "Bound" to the queer series "Work in Progress", an exploration and deciphering of the artistic work and revolutionary career of Lana and Lilly Wachowski. "Matrix" is the soil in which all the seeds of the filmmakers' struggle were sown. Feminism, anti-capitalism, trans-identity and racial justice are encoded in trench-coat action scenes and symbol-laden metaphors. The two sisters, as uncompromising in their societal battles as they are in their experimental aesthetics, are a happy Hollywood anomaly, a real crack in the matrix it's time to rediscover.

M-HOLE

2024

M-HOLE

2024
Video-reality film, showing the archive of a week in the life of Ian and his relationship with drugs and different subcultures in Madrid. In digital video format, the film works with the “poor image” and is constructed through the documented archive of a real week, where the camera appears as another character, a machinic-sensitive extension of the protagonist himself. Ian constructs landscapes (sonorous and visual) to document the residual dissociative experience of his relationship with various drugs throughout a period of his life. The film M-HOLE constitutes both a therapeutic and documentary attempt to expose, through the archive, the aesthetic experiences that follow him during a week of his life. This experimental-documentary film addresses the issues faced by youth in confronting precarity and chemical policies in relation to the pathological avalanche of our times.
