    paper Memoria Espectral (Spectral Memory)

    An audiovisual fragment from childhood becomes the starting point for Spectral Memory, an intimate exploration of memory and identity.

    The short film is constructed from found images, digitized tapes, and absences that are impossible to recover. What can be seen coexists with what was never recorded, generating an incomplete, ghostly memory that insists on being part of the personal narrative.

    Rather than reconstructing the past, Spectral Memory proposes to inhabit it from a place of doubt, accepting that silences and losses have their own narrative force. Thus, the short film is presented as an audiovisual essay on the archive, memory, and the impossibility (and necessity) of continuing to search for oneself through them.

    paper Capitalismo Zombie (Zombie Capitalism)

    Between documentary, video essay, and video art, Capitalismo Zombie reflects on the figure of the zombie in horror cinema as a metaphor for human existence under the capitalist system. Through the analysis of film images and audiovisual language, the piece explores ideas of alienation, consumption, and repetition, drawing parallels between the undead body and contemporary forms of labor, desire, and social exhaustion. The film invites the viewer to reconsider the zombie not only as a figure of horror, but as a mirror of everyday life within late capitalism.
