Humanity has long embarked on a kamikaze escape, knowing neither the consequences nor the fate, in a frantic race against the basic principles of its survival, of social cohesion, of ecology and of the search for its own voice.
Through found materials and videographic archives, this work organically and visually raises this frantic race of man in search of an impossible future that is increasingly dark and leading to a suicidal end.

From a very young age he became interested in cinema and, above all, in its more experimental aspect. At first, seduced by Luis Buñuel, Rene Clair, Jean Cocteau or Eisenstein. Already the first short films shot between the ages of fifteen and eighteen pointed in that direction. Then he discovered David Lynch and Zbigniew Rybczyński and his interest and vocation became a certainty. Since then he has developed his professional career moving through the most varied fields of audiovisual arts: before leaving his hometown setting up film clubs or editing magazines, then directing, writing, editing or behind the camera; but also in distribution, directing festivals, doing audiovisual journalism and critique, again editing a magazine or even rating films at the Ministry of Culture. He has worked as a director for TVE, Tele 5 and National Geographic, he has made a documentary feature film, several fiction short films and documentaries for film and television that have been seen in more than 100 festivals around the world, but he has always continued with the same experimental vocation from the beginning, investigating the limits of audiovisual syntax and the non-narrative possibilities of the moving image. He has participated with a selection of his experimental videos in the Ourense Experimental Video Biennial, the Extremadura Experimental Video Festival and the Seville Expo, and has been a finalist in the Video Art Event (Romania), Walthamstow International Film Festival (London).
