Murmurations (2025)

Isolated during the COVID lock-downs, Xavier films the mesmerizing flights of starlings over his hometown in Spain. Their movements awaken memories of his HIV diagnosis and a deep longing for connection. Through voice messages with his lover in Brazil, the defiant spirit of early AIDS activism in New York, and Afro-Brazilian Candomblé rituals, the film becomes a layered meditation on grief, survival, and collective resilience.
