One of the topics that ocuped the media agenda this week was the return of one hundred chileans from Venezuela, in the context of the “humanitary” plan that this goovernment has impulsed. One hundred chileans, and a cat. This post is about the cat. About the cat and the importance that the chileans medias have bring to him. Important medias like CNN Chile puts this title: “100 chileans and a cat returns from Caracas, Venezuela”. Another medias, like Radio Zero, puts the next: “A cat returns to the country from Venezuela”. Some TV programs, puts GC’s that said: “The cat that have been return to the country from Venezuela”. By this notices we could know everything about the cat: his name -Micifuz Oliver-, who’s his owner –a girl who has anxiety, so the cat is part of her treatment- and in what conditions cat travels: unfortunely, the cat was unquiet during all the fly. All of these with images of the cat, like close-ups, per twenty minutes or more, even forgetting the people that...

I would like to study the Film / Video course at CALArts, a film school in California. The reasons why I would like to take the course are basically because of the taste I have acquired recently for experimental cinema. Last semester I took a course at the University that invited me to reflect on the image and its possibilities, beyond the construction of a story. The idea of ​​rehearsing and exploring interests me much more than the idea of ​​having too much control and clarity in relation to the things that I want to film. In that school there are many professors who are active in making films, and they are all at the forefront of experimental cinema.   I would like to go to study in the United States to learn a little more about their culture. There are many prejudices around that country (many of those prejudices make a lot of sense, I do not deny it), but it is interesting to visit a country that has penetrated so deep into the culture of its own. For all of us who...

I would like to film a documentary on Antartida. I would like to live there by some time and see how people lives in that conditions. I would like to do it for fun and curiosity. Maybe I would work around the concept of "isolation". One of the necessary skills would be having a sensitive look to capture the territory and not fall in common places. Maybe I could realize a movie about the landscape, reducing to the minimum the human context. Through the filmed I could show the not-filmed, giving importance to the human footprints more than the humans exactly. Without a doubt it would be a very enriching experience. Being alone some time it's a good idea to reflect and read a lot of books. I really like experimental cinema, so I would aproach the movie from there. I would give more relevance to the form than the subject. I'm not interested on show an history. I'm more interested on show images. The image by the image is a very interesting concept to explore. I ...
