La Durmiente 2025
During a dynastic crisis in 14th century Portugal, the 10 year old Beatriz enters into a forced marriage to become the country’s new queen. At the Monastery of Sancti Spiritus in Toro, where the tomb of Beatriz is located, this story is re-enacted, re-imagined, and recreated with children of the same age. As their imagination is allowed to roam free, a different way to interact with their country’s history opens up.

Tale of Shepherds 2024
A lively geologist working as an intern at the Prehistory and Paleontological Museum of Orce in Granada meets a badly hurt shepherd. This chance encounter plants the seed of Historia de pastores, an adventurous film that finds a perfect mixture between the old and the new. Dwelling equally on orality and charged silence, suggestion and contemplation, Jaime Puertas Castillo builds an engaging narrative of rural life in the south of Spain – punctuated by extraneous elements plus some powerful, surprising twists.
