It is exciting to be on my last year of grad school! The world is wide open and opportunities should be coming up…

This academic year is the one in which I must get focus on my thesis and final project. During the first year of grad school I was experimenting and exploring something that is really interesting to me: the effects of high altitude on the body, and I made different short experimental films on that subject; however, during the summer break I have become very interested on an issue that is considerably more important to me because it is important to the planet, to the environment and life. Latelly I’ve been watching some great films that are considered by the director of one of these films: Art Film. And I am talking about Ron Fricke, director of Baraka, and Chronos, among others. He also refers to his films as: “Life affirming films”, and that concept alone is so powerful. Another awesome director who has explored (some times together with Fricke) this realm of “life affirming films” is Godfrey Reggio, director of the Qatsi trilogy: Koyaanisqatsi (LIfe Out of Balance), Powaqatsii (Life in Transformation), and Naqoyqatsi (Life as War).
