Atravesando el campo poster
NR

A dreamer with a calm and minstrel attitude lays on the grass, recites a poem and makes an offer to a tree. Is he dreaming, or is he a part of a dream? A contemporary peasant dress in a nostalgic revolution’s uniform, goes with his work routine in the countryside, takes care of the cows and thinks about the meaning of death and dream. The real documents and fiction blends into the path of the characters in a rural area in Cuba, and becomes a metaphor of an island inside another island or a dream inside another dream.

Potential fragments of work to unfold, fractal and cyclical poster
NR

In his short film series ‘24 portraits’, Alain Cavalier records women who have dedicated their lives to manual work, collecting images and testimonies from a world of work in danger of extinction through close-ups of faces, hands, gestures and objects. The short takes up the idea of the registration of manual work and its representation, but within artistic production. Here we can see the actions, methods and ways of seeing of Ana, an artist who is in the initial moment of creating new works.
