Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed

It is a film about what is not said. About family ties crossed by money, power and guilt. But it also talks about the possibility of looking from another place. [Full review in Spanish]

The Devil Smokes
(2025)

Nicolás Medina
|
What hurts is not what is seen, but what the frame does not contain. An off-camera monster, yes, but also an overwhelmed family, a system that abandons, a society that does not know what to do with what it does not understand. [Full review in Spanish]

The relationship between Anika and the animals is neither magical nor childish: it is serene, restrained, sometimes uncomfortable. It is not about understanding the animals, but about putting our own language in crisis. [Full review in Spanish]

The camera becomes a silent witness, letting the actions unfold with an almost ethnographic organicity. However the film constructs a committed gaze, where each shot seems to be conceived from an ethic of resistance. [Full review in Spanish]
