Heidegger, F. Nietzsche, Jacques Derridá, Michael Foucauld, Paul B. Preciado, Nick Land... and she is interested in accelerationism, sexual dissent and deconstruction movements, among others.

Director Statement

Note: We have received a massive amount of festival requests to our e-mail every day for a year. We inform that we are not presenting any film at the moment.

Majnún is the first short film in a trilogy whose interest is based on the problems of humanity in the face of an unprecedented social, political and economic scenario. The choice of the work of the sculptor Josep Bofill, an anthropocentrist in his early stage, together with the oriental music of Yair Dalal and the collaboration of the José Pedro Carrión National Theater Award, have made it possible to express these eight new etymologies for fundamental concepts that will be the starting point towards the new values that are revealed to humanity.

Those of us who have not fitted into the academic world, perhaps, we value in a more extraordinary way the teachers that we have encountered in the stages of our life. I dedicate this short film to E. Eskenazi.
