Moya House
Mexico City, 2022 / 2 min
The film about Moya House focuses on the experience of walking through the stairs, the lights and shadows casted on the concrete surfaces, and the views discovered along the journey. In a very introspective way, the film remains inside of the house, while the opening scene offers a glimpse of what lies beyond the walls.
Film and music by Juan Benavides, with special thanks to Carlos Gonzalez, Begoña Gonzalez, and Dominika Kopiarová
