Verité is a study of friendship, sketching a relationship born from a city known for its transience, and the possibilities of chance in the creation of meaningful bonds. The title captures both technique and etymology: Verité references both the cinema verité aesthetic of the film, as well as the Latin word ‘veritas’, for truth.
Shot over one day in Berlin across several districts, Farias follows two wandering protagonists without a clear destination. From moments of stasis to their dancing in a red-tinged tunnel and atop a roof at twilight, this portrait of intimacy is at once plotless yet cohesive. Each moment feels familiar, like vignettes from our own memory, yet there is no way of knowing the destiny of these two people. But perhaps this is the truth of friendship — something with less of a neat trajectory than an embodied feeling or imagination of what might be.
“I look at my path and I think that I belong to it more than it belongs to me.”
Every path taken is, in truth, several paths at once: what was, what never happened, and what only existed in our imagination. “Caminito” explores the endless process, where time stretches and each step pushes us forward. With Juanjo Almeida as the protagonist, it moves from the intimate to the universal.

“Black Hole” redefines emptiness not as an absence, but as a threshold of possibilities where what remains hidden holds as much weight as what is revealed. The film, directed by Spanish photographer and filmmaker Federico Reparaz, explores interstitial spaces that oscillate between the beautiful and the unsettling, the evident and the concealed. Spaces that are structured through the paradoxes of the fleeting and the suspended. The project also investigates the notion of emptiness not merely as an absence, but as a realm of possibility where what is left unseen is just as significant as what is revealed.
Shot entirely on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, this choice of medium was driven by its ability to deliver a precise and detailed visual aesthetic while simultaneously allowing for an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere. The film follows model and writer Aine O’Leary as she recites the opening lines of a National Geographic documentary on black holes, moving through different locations in a wintery Normandy — a forest, the river’s edge, the ruins of an abandoned house. The tension arising from her presence within these liminal landscapes, between what is spoken and what remains unsaid, between beauty and eeriness, immerses the viewer in a state of uncertainty, making them an active participant in the visual narrative’s resolution. Shot alongside Erea Azurmendi and edited by Manu Azurmendi, the creative team also includes stylist Giorgia Ferrari and makeup artist and hairstylist Aniela Fik.
