Flo Jacobs (1941-2025)

A beautiful woman, a beautiful soul, passed peacefully at home under the skylight in the Chambers Street loft where she and her husband Ken lived & made art for some 60 years.

RIP Tomonari Nishikawa.

One of the great filmmakers from these century has passed away. Let's remember his excellent work and the kind human he was. A tragedy for cinema, but most importantly, for his family.

It took me a while but my text on Ernie Gehr's retrospective at MoMA has finally been published at Desistfilm:

English version will be published soon by Chute Film Coop.

It's a very long text, allowed myself to think and reflect, some thing these films do as well.

For anybody who doesn't know about the other work that I do beyond my own filmmaking; I suggest following Cineclub La Región Central, where we show experimental cinema rarely screened in Santiago de Chile.

Here's our website: laregioncentral-cine.club

I'm very happy and thankful to have a film of mine included once again in @msicism.bsky.social's list of Experimental Films of the year (2024). I never take for granted to have my work be "considered", specially as a digital filmmaker. Many friends and heroes are here. Truly an honor.

Here I am, clearly on a losing position, playing chess with David Gatten. More moments like this in 2025, please, I beg.
