DAVIS CUP | TV Opening from Dedo Ciego on Vimeo.

We were asked to create the TV opening for Davis Cup 2022. Our approach was to use the sound base of tennis to build a succession of images (real and processed) mixed rhythmically with graphics that convey the emotion of a tennis match. Graphics and types were animated analogically frame by frame.

Men Don't Whisper from Jordan Firstman on Vimeo.

After being emasculated at a sales conference, gay couple Reese and Peyton decide the only way to regain their confidence and prove their masculinity is to sleep with some women.

Mal de caña (documental) // Cane Malice (documentary) - Trailer (English subtitles) from MAYO films on Vimeo.

MAL DE CAÑA // CANE MALICE - Trailer

SINOPSIS Cuando el esposo de María murió, le dijeron que tenía que dejar la plantación o trabajar en el único trabajo disponible: cortar y cultivar caña. Ella decidió tomar el trabajo que le ofrecía la Compañía a cambio de un salario de miseria y una pequeña barraca donde vive con sus cinco hijos. De esta manera, aceptó una vida de precariedad sin electricidad, agua potable ni servicios sanitarios. Así es como miles de personas quedan atrapadas en un sistema que les niega todos los servicios básicos y les despoja de sus derechos cívicos, manteniéndolos en una vida de miseria.

La gran extensión de caña de azúcar en República Dominicana ofrece este trato a miles de trabajadores Haitianos. Algunos luchan por salir - como la hija de María, con pocas posibilidades de conseguir trabajo en los hoteles de la costa. A otros se les fuerza a irse - como a Leidy y su pequeño hijo, cuando su suegro se jubila después de 50 años de trabajo en la plantación. Aún así, algunos - como Yudelka o Telemín - se organizan y tratan de cambiar las condiciones de vida en las que todos están inmersos en los campos de caña. Son un obstáculo que entorpece el funcionamiento de la eficiente maquinaria que es la plantación.

SINOPSYS When Maria’s husband died, she was told to either leave the sugarcane plantation or to work in the only existent job: cutting and planting cane. She decided to work for the rudimentary barrack she and her five children call home. With that, she was accepting a precarious life without electricity, drinkable water and sanitary services. This is how people are stuck in a house provided by the Company, ensuring that no other basic service nor civil rights are provided.

The vast extension of a sugarcane plantation in Dominican Republic offers this deal to thousands of Haitian workers, many of them undocumented. Some struggle to leave - like Maria’s daughter, with few chances of working in a hotel by the coast. Some others are forced to leave - like Leidy and her baby, when her father-in-law retires after 50 years of work. Yet, some others - like Yudelka and Telemin - organise and try to change the miserable situation everyone is living in the canefields. They are an obstacle that hinders the functioning of the great machine that is the Plantation.

Chunyun from Jonathan Bregel on Vimeo.

"Chunyun," the world's largest annual human migration takes place every Chinese New Year. This cultural phenomenon consists of over three billion passenger-journeys, largely for the purpose of spending treasured time with family.

Watchtower of China from Leonardo Dalessandri on Vimeo.

Creating Watchtower of China was a labour of love. I say labour because we, meaning my crew and I, throughout three consecutive summers, visited over seventy cities and travelled countless thousands of kilometers. Everywhere we went, we found ourselves channelling the powerful energy of this great land to find the strength and inspiration to continue our quest along what became life-changing for all of us. When we initially gathered together we were a film crew. By the time we were done, three years later, we had become a family.

I say love, because what we have created is more than just a film. It is a declaration of our love for this Country.

When I set out on this project I wanted to create a visual tribute to China - an honest observation of daily life. Not a surface travelog, but a real and raw representation of the cultural history. An honoring of Chinese culture, identity, and the complex and varied way of living that spans the enormity of the Chinese territory. A window on the dedication and discipline, the craftsmanship and hard work of the Chinese people. They have an energy of moving forward together as they draw power and inspiration from a culture that looks back over thousands of years, yet rushes fearlessly towards a bold future.

I started to feel this intense energy, as though this cultural pride and determination were now moving through me and my camera. The experience of this film buried itself so deeply within me that I can still feel the hard day’s work in my muscles.

It couldn’t have come together without the help of my dear friends, especially Jolien Snyers and Ricky Choy (did you spot Ricky in the film? She’s in multiple shots and sings in the very last taxi shot!)

It is one of my proudest accomplishments. I hope you love it.

Black Ice from Christopher Dormoy on Vimeo.

Black Ice is a personnal project I worked on during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic and the confinement. Having to stay home does not mean less creation. It is time to observe and experience elements and details of our daily life that we find at home. I wanted to play with ice, flower and ink and see what kind of universe I can created with the macro and motion timelapse technique. I spent many hours to observe and experiment the ice and how it react with liquids like ink but also, oil, paint and soap. Some effects are hypnotic and surprising.

To realise this project, I used a Nikon Z6 with a Atomos Ninja V and the Edelkrone ecosystem. I used 2 lenses: The Nikkor Macro 105mm and the Loawa 24mm.
