Recuerdocs is an exchange of video letters between four filmmakers from Argentina and Chile. United by friendship and by the question of cinematic form, the filmmakers reflect on cinema, images, and their personal lives.

While walking with her camera on a random street, the director experiences a casual encounter with a stranger who asks her to be portrayed. After several interviews, the mysterious disappearance of that woman becomes a source of obsession for the artist behind the camera..

"Imaginary Zoo" is a video art/essay that reimagines Santiago’s Metropolitan Zoo as a space of fiction and reflection. Through a dialogue with artificial intelligence, it explores animal captivity, human control over machines, and the interplay between the physical and the virtual. As part of the author's doctoral research, it questions data-generated visual representation and reflects on the “self” as an observer. Inspired by Gilbert Simondon, the project invites us to rethink our relationships with living beings and emerging technologies, challenging notions of freedom, perception, and our place in a mediated world.

The Monkey with Its Tongue Out is an essay that interweaves personal memory, historical narrative, and philosophical reflection, using the zoo as a metaphor for the Technocene. Through a combination of documentary images and artificial intelligence, the work offers a critical look at the aestheticization of the artificial and new forms of observation mediated by algorithms.
