Now I Know Where to Find You



Now I Know Where to Find You

A short film by Diego Berakha Otal Original Spanish version vimeo.com/685320983?share=copy "Now I Know Where to Find you" is a story about my childhood in Spain and the trip I made to Argentina when I was 12 years old. One day I decided that I wanted to live with my father. I missed him too much. 10,000 km later a whole new life began for me, but my childhood memories didn't fade away. And, of all these memories, the memory of my yaya (grandmother) was always vivid. She raised me as if I was her own son, when none of my parents were ready to do that. The story stems from a unique discovery that I made while wandering around with Google Maps. This discovery was so moving that I felt the need to tell the story, my story. _ Premiered at 2022 BAFICI

This film started after loosing a friend to an overdose, the aim was always to prevent others from accidentally overdosing and suffering the same fate as him, without sounding like your parents saying: “Drugs are Bad.” Rather, we want to be like a friend who sincerely tells you “Take care”. Together we turned a horrible thing that happened into positive change. So thank you! This one feels really special to me.

Slower Animals



Slower Animals

While aimlessly following a winter goose migration across the American south, a professor slips in and out of childhood memories that all surround a forgotten trauma. This short animated film explores the ways we are shaped; both by what we remember and what we forget. _________________ Story, Sound & Images by John C Kelley, 2022 "In 2015, I somehow convinced the University of Arkansas to give me $800 to aimlessly follow a migration of Canadian snow geese across the southeast corner of the state. Inspired by travel notebooks written by Joan Didion while visiting “the south”, I was moving without much reason – just trying to follow geese, trying to translate the impulse. While in the area, memories of growing up nearby began to surface. Basic truths from childhood: the slowest animals are eaten. Drifting in and out of these memories stirred concern, and a nagging realization that the things I remembered and the things I forgot both ensured that I would grow up to be someone who follows geese for no reason. Eventually I caught up to them – the geese. There were thousands in a field, like a giant white line across the earth."

Field of Vision - The Family Statement



Field of Vision - The Family Statement

The Family Statement constructs a conversation between the Sackler family in their private WhatsApp chat and those afflicted by the opioid crisis. Well-known for their philanthropic efforts, the Sackler family have been less forthright about the ways they’ve benefited from selling the opioid painkiller Oxycontin. The Family Statement brings the notoriously private family into dialogue with those living the consequences of the opioid epidemic, offering a poignant commentary on capitalism, corporate accountability, denial and pain. Directed by Grace Harper and Kate Stonehill

Birdsong: the dying whistled language of the Hmong people in northern Laos

Exploring the whistling traditions of the Hmong people of northern Laos, whose language straddles the boundary between music and speech, this film witnesses a collision of ancient tradition with modern urban life. With urbanisation and the advent of modern technology rapidly replacing this culture, Hmong whistling is dying out.

ICELAND // GUSTS FROM THE HIGHLANDS

Iceland is one of my favorite countries to travel to & I absolutely love capturing my experiences there. It was even better getting to show my Wife’s family this place we’ve grown to love so much over the past 5 years. “Gusts From The Highlands” is my 3rd travel piece I’ve had the pleasure of creating there. Bringing along the Leica Q2 was a great addition in the toolkit for shooting the photos you see in this piece. It was fun experimenting with the Sirui anamorphic’s as well. Thanks to my love Christie LaPlant for all the killer drone shots!

Playgrounds In Motion - 2023 London Titles

All good things come in threes, and I was happy to be asked once again to create opening titles for Playgrounds, this time for their brand new In Motion festival held in London and Rotterdam. After creating the overall look and feel for the new festival together with the fine folks at BUCK (more on this later!), I wanted to take the wavelength concept that’s at the core of the identity, and take it into as many directions as possible. Waterslides! Apples! Balloon animals! The resulting titles are a patchwork of different styles and ideas, but isn’t that a fitting way to enter the world of In Motion?

However, fear grows in his throat every time he repeats words that seem meaningless and only bring back bad memories. En una escuela en dónde las paredes observan, Santiago debe dar el discurso más importante de su vida: la bienvenida a la primera visita del Gran Señor Comandante. Sin embargo, el miedo crece en su garganta cada vez que repite palabras que parecen carecer de sentido, y que solo le traen malos recuerdos.

STANE by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic



STANE by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic

A complex construction site, New York’s skyline in the distance, and fresh betrayal. Stane is in charge on-site, soon to inherit the family business from her father, who built it up as a Croatian immigrant also building the American dream. But Stane’s marriage is under threat of demolition. What ensues is a public reckoning between traditional, patriarchal expectations made upon wives versus Stane’s own pain and anger. But Stane is building her own life story though — outside of the permission of men. "Stane", a film by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović, is the 26th commission from Miu Miu Women’s Tales. The acclaimed short-film series invites today’s most profound and original female directors to investigate vanity and femininity in the 21st century. Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović (b.1985) is a Dubrovnik-born and New York based Croatian and American screenwriter and filmmaker. Her directorial feature debut, "Murina", executive produced by Martin Scorsese, premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors Fortnight section, and was honored with the Caméra d'Or Award presented to the Best First Film, subsequently garnering critical acclaim to become one of the Best Films of 2022. "Murina" was nominated for three Film Independent Spirit Awards, including Best First Feature, Best Breakthrough Performer and Best Cinematography. Her short-film, "Into the Blue", was awarded at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival. “What does it mean to ‘give women power’ and ‘put women in power’?” says Kusijanovic. “I constantly hear it and I’m conflicted about that expression — power that is ‘given’ then also can be ‘taken’ away.” "Stane" reflects Kusijanović’s belief that, “sensuality needs to breathe through everything.” Although all her films, including this latest episode for Miu Miu Women’s Tales, invariably deal with the plight of women, Kusijanović admits that she never thinks first, “through politics or social message. I always start from character.” And from there the “issues of the world naturally emerge.” "Stane" ’s themes are specific to her own culture but also universal: the sacrifices women must make to uphold the fabric of society; the familial frictions felt between generations of immigrants; cultural norms and private disquiet; the asymmetry of honour and dishonour between genders. Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović’s new episode for Women’s Tales premiered at the Venice Film Festival’s “Giornate degli Autori” on September 3rd 2023 #miumiu #miumiuwomenstales #giornatedegliautori #venicefilmfestival #stanefilm #nyc

Citizen Tourist - Animation Short Film



Citizen Tourist - Animation Short Film

With global tourism on the rise, the short film "CITIZEN TOURIST" tries to look at the tourist as a species with exotic and particular quirks, inviting us to look at ourselves and our group behaviours when we fill that role. The theme is explored in a whimsical fashion, turning the spotlight on an industry that is shaping entire cities and cultures in profound ways. Additionally, we try to encourage people to be able to find the joy of adventure right at their doorstep, especially in the embrace of nature, and to cultivate a curiosity that can transform the mundane into extraordinary moments that we’re often told to seek exclusively abroad, in distant cultures and lavish experiences. All in all, we try to remain true to the famous quote by Proust that says “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Concept and Script: Gustavo Carreiro & Hugo Raposo Direction: Gustavo Carreiro Producer: Hugo Raposo Animation: Élio Mateus Maria Pasqualino Gustavo Carreiro Illustration: Maria Pasqualino Gustavo Carreiro Pedro Oliveira Music & Sound Design: Carlos Geraldes
