Afric Hotel

2011 • 54 min • Algeria

In the furnace of Algiers, the camera follows and accompanies Ibrahim, Adam, and Ismael, originally from sub-Saharan Africa, in an irregular situation who live in this hotel with the predestined name.

Behind the statistics hide people, bodies waiting to be able to start another life elsewhere.

Duration-Landscape: Rocks

2011 • 4 min • Spain

We feel a sublimation experience where the mental image of landscape undergoes a metamorphosis. The actual space is distorted, time flows in a different way: it stops in our consciousness. It is the connection at the "full instant," the idea of "durèe" of Henri Bergson, where the intensity of the experience makes the image of landscape expands.
