Spiritual Folk Blues Clip
Director:
Javier Fernández-Caldas RodrÃguez
In the pines is a classic of African-American music, made popular by African-American singer Leadbelly during the 1940s. More than 20 versions of this classic have been made, also known as Were did you sleep last night, by groups such as Nirvana, Greatful Dead, Mark Lanegan, Bob Dylan, Bill Monroe etc ... A dark and melancholic theme that narrates a crime of a railroad man, of which only his head appears next to a wheel. Inspired by this verse, we have built the story around that mystery, in the key of black comedy. Its interpreter, Solomon (recently founded Canarian folk and blues group), gives us a new vision of the Leadbelly classic.

Gender Equality Drama
Director:
Marcelo Machado
The film tries to reflect on a deeply ethical conflict, such as the decision of an abortion. A human drama, today vulgarly politicized by many governments, represented through the story of two young lovers, understanding that, only through a particular conflict a universal phenomenon can be addressed. A work that does not take sides, only asks questions and encourages reflection, insisting on the responsibility of art in social debate and the formation of values.
