LA AURORA
Documentary Film
Direction and General Production
In the south of Buenos Aires Province, a family decides to change course: to lead the first large-scale agroecological transition in the country.
La Aurora: The Beginning of the Path is an intimate and truthful portrait of this pioneering process, which laid the foundation for a growing movement across the land.
The documentary follows the early stages of this quiet transformation, capturing the brave decision to abandon the extractivist model and reconnect with the land through respect, science, and sensitivity. Through genuine and moving footage, it reveals the fears, resistance, and everyday victories that shaped a new way of producing food, protecting the environment, and rebuilding communities.
La Aurora is not just a farm: it is the symbol of a beginning.
An urgent and hopeful invitation to imagine and build a different futur
THE PATH IS AGROECOLOGY
# Documentary Film
Direction and General Production
Is agriculture to produce food or money? Is it profitable to produce without poison? How do I want to feed myself? Can we imagine an agriculture with a focus on biodiversity and the health of soil and people? Producers, marketers, and consumers open their farm gates and doors to affirm that THE PATH IS AGROECOLOGY. If you are interested in the present and the future of how we inhabit this planet, listen to them. It's time to change our way; of a new paradigm.
SOMEBODY HAS TO COOK
# 9 Episodes
Direction and General Production
Someone has to cook is the meeting of two wills, stories and journeys. It arises from the decision of Alex von Foerster and Elías Sáez to join forces to promote the message of urgency and the need for change in our diet. Their families are part of the team. The result is a transformative content, without turning back, in which the satisfaction of doing the right thing is installed with the intention of continuing to grow. Four hours of audiovisual experience divided into nine episodes.
