Entre cenizas y algoritmos directed by Jordi Piris Fabra.

Entre cenizas y algoritmos is an independent documentary short film born from a deeply immersive journey through contemporary India. Shot with a minimal crew and very limited resources, the project was developed under an essential premise: to observe without invading. For this reason, the director chose a lightweight production approach, both in terms of personnel and technical equipment, allowing him to approach sacred rituals and spaces with respect, discretion, and an almost invisible presence. This methodological austerity became a creative tool that enabled an honest and direct gaze into a spirituality in transformation.

The film was shot in places such as the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Varanasi, and Delhi, where tradition and modernity coexist in constant tension. The camera blends into the environment, capturing gestures, silences, and contradictions that reveal how the sacred adapts, resists, or becomes spectacle in today’s India. The sound, recorded organically and without intervention, accompanies this sensorial experience that seeks to convey the cultural complexity of the country from within.

The director, Jordi Piris Fabra, is a photographer and filmmaker whose career is closely linked to the visual exploration of identities and human landscapes. His work is characterized by a poetic and observational approach, as well as an interest in narratives that emerge from the coexistence between tradition and contemporaneity. Entre cenizas y algoritmos continues its international journey across various festivals, establishing itself as an independent work that embraces sensitivity, proximity, and reflection.
