Largometraje – Feature Film
«En construcción» / Work in Progress, Spain, 2001, 125′ (Editor) TRAILER
«Exceptionally in a career spent shooting films in other countries, Guerín’s Work In Progress takes place in his native Barcelona. The film’s ostensible subject is the construction of a building of condominiums in the city’s «El Xino» quarter. This rough neighborhood is a home to workers, immigrants, squatters, prostititutes and drug dealers. The construction site represents an attempt to «improve» the neighborhood – by pushing some longtime residents out. Such is the backdrop to the film, which is made up of staged and semi-staged episodes featuring neighborhood residents and workers at the construction site. Guerín magically spins spellbinding cinema from the simplest elements of urban interaction.» (Source)

En Aldealseñor, un pequeño pueblo de los páramos altos de Soria, quedan hoy 14 habitantes. Son la última generación, después de mil años de historia ininterrumpida. Hoy, la vida continúa. Dentro de poco, se extinguirá sin estrépito y sin más testigos. Los vecinos de Aldealseñor y el trabajo del pintor Pello Azketa comparten algo en común: las cosas han comenzado a desaparecer delante de ellos. La narradora vuelve a su origen y asiste a ese final al tiempo que intenta recuperar una imagen primera del mundo, de la infancia. (Source)
Mercedes Álvarez was three years old when her parents decided to leave the village of La Aldea at the end of the 1960s. Today, only fourteen inhabitants live in this barren corner of northern Spain, a population which is probably the end of over a thousand years of uninterrupted settlement. Alvarez, who was the last child to be born in La Aldea, returns after many years to the land of her ancestors to film a portrait of its handful of settlers. She records what are at first glance ordinary moments (villagers at work or in conversation), but whose uniqueness lies in being caught between timelessness and the approaching end. (Source)
«Mercado de futuros» / Futures Market, Spain, 2011, 113′ TRAILER, CLIP w/ English subtitles
El desalojo y derribo de una antigua casa, con todos sus muebles, su abundante biblioteca y su cargamento entero de memoria personal, constituye el punto de arranque de esta película que intenta trazar algunos rasgos del nuevo aspecto del mundo. La cámara se asoma a la fiebre del mercado inmobiliario, convertido en una feria del espectáculo y promesa del enriquecimiento o del paraíso, a los brokers de la inversión financiera y a los gurús y predicadores del éxito y la mitología empresarial. De fondo, queda una mirada sobre la virtualización del espacio urbano, el desalojo de la memoria personal y colectiva, y la banalización de sueños y deseos, convertidos finalmente en pura mercancía.
