La Montaña interior (The Inner Mountain)
(2012) Super 8, black and white, 30 minutes.
It is a metaphor on the search of an own road in life. The main character is a man that decides to take a long walk toward the mountains that culminates with the ascent to a summit, while he remembers his activism as artist and as ecologist.

In late 2012, I traveled to Colombia for five weeks. I went to learn more about bullerengue and magic realism, two very different modes of storytelling. I made these videos: my stories about other stories. They were screened recently in a show I titled La Bulla y Restos, which roughly translates as The Ruckus & Remainders.
