- The Quilpo Dreams Waterfalls (Super 8, sound, 11:00)
According to the Comechingones natives, Quilpo river dreams of big falls at least once a year. Whoever is near the river at the time will be part of its dreams forever.
Shot in the sacred comechingones´shrine.
“This shortfilm is a diary of my days at the Quilpo River, and also an ancient legend. I shot with my Super 8 camera in an area of the Quilpo river in Cordoba, considered to be sacred by the Comechingones aborigins. The Quilpo doesn't have waterfalls so these were shot quite more to the south, near Mallín Ahogado in Rio Negro.
Then I intervened the undeveloped celluloid with light through different kinds of glass and masks. When I developed the film, I reprinted different positive frames over a new virgin celluloid. Material creating material. The river feeding itself. The film implodes. I try generating conditions for the unexpected to appear.” P.M.

- Conjectures (Super 8, sound, 4:00)
Conjectures about the animal that bumps into itself, aims for big things, and gets sick of it all.

- Oaxaca Tohoku (35mm, sound, 11:25)
On March 11, 2011, there was an earthquake in the coastal region of Tohoku (Japan). The rupture of tectonic plates expanded through an area of 100,000 sq km. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the coastal area of Oaxaca (Mexico) a tsunami alert was issued.
The film was shot in Oaxaca (Mexico) during a maximum tsunami warning brought about by the earthquake of Tohoku (Japan).
"In 2011, I was participating in the Oaxaca Screenwriter Lab (Mexico), when the earthquake started in Japan. In a few hours , the authorities announced a maximum tsunami warning, so I travelled with my camera to the coastal area of Oaxaca and I started to shoot a kind of film chronicle of the sea and the surroundings in those days. " P.M.
