The Intruder

The Intruder is a video essay rooted in the experience of a heart surgery. Inspired by texts by Jean-Luc Nancy and María Zambrano, it superimposes clinical, personal, and emotional images to form a dense visual archive. Accumulation and rhythm shape a non-linear narrative in which memory, body, and time are reconfigured through voice and heartbeat.

Alive and Dead

António, an absentee father, is in charge of feeding his daughter’s old cat while she’s on vacation. When the cat doesn’t show up, António convinces himself that something bad might’ve happened as he stumbles on small clues. Do these signs corroborate his beliefs or is António projecting his worst fear, facing death? Cat sitting turned into an existential thriller.
