"For me there are no genres or types of films. Types are made for commercial reasons and contribute to the confusion of cinema in general. For me cinema is divided into good and bad films."

Tchindas
Directors: Marc Serena and Pablo García
Executive producer: Yolanda Olmos/Marc Serena
Director of photography: Pablo García
Sound: Marc Serena/Veronica Font
Synopsis:
In 1998 she was interviewed by a local newspaper, explaining her story for the first time. It was her only media appearance, but it was enough to become well-known around Cape Verde, even in the islands she has never visited. Now, tchinda is the local byword for gay Cape Verdeans.
Without setting out to do so, she has become a legend, one of the best-known women in this archipelago 500 km off the coast of Senegal. She is now 35 and has won the respect of her neighbours, sometimes by force, as the scar on her nose reminds us.
She is a leader. She is tireless, loyal and fascinating. A woman of action, able to unite a whole neighbourhood, she deserves to be the first Black African trans woman to be recognised on the big screen.

Synopsis:
In the mid 1970s Christa Leem reinvented an art. Many artists before had taken their clothes off and in the death throes of the Francoist regime, other cabaret artists, actresses, singers, celebrities and aspiring celebrities broke through the barrier of National Catholicism by showing off the forbidden fruit much to the delight of the repressed citizens. But Christa showed us her naked, pale, light and premature body in order to reveal much more to us: a transparent and free soul.
"I like to live life, to live it to the full; I enjoy living it, whether it is on the street, at home, at work, with friends, alone, with my dogs, at the beach, in the country, on a plane, on a moped, anywhere... I enjoy life."

Life goes on in Fuente Álamo on a summer's day. The light, the sounds, the hours go by, from daybreak to night, recorded by a hidden observer, inconspicuous and discreet, caressing the daily occurrences in the lives of the boys and girls, of granny Maria, of the girls from the shoe factory, and of Pedro and Guillermo, two farm workers. And at the end of the day, the fiesta of the "gazpachos". A true story with a twist and a reflection on the passing of time.
"Watch out for this film"
José Luís Guerín
"... without trying, it is a truly musical film."
Miguel Marías
"...Pablo has managed to transform the dust of the tracks in La Mancha into gold dust..."
Joaquín Jordá
"... 'Fuente Álamo, the caress of time' leads us to think that Víctor Erice may finally have successors in Spanish cinema..."
