el guayota
The demon that dwelled inside the Teide
A cinematic exploration of the most powerful myth of the Canary Islands. Through the voices of historians, volcanologists, and specialists in Guanche culture, we delve into the legend of Guayota — the demonic entity that, according to the ancient inhabitants of Tenerife, dwelled in the depths of Mount Teide. A journey between science, mythology, and the memory of a people.

discovering icor
A village reborn, a family remains
On the southern slopes of Tenerife, Icor — one of the island’s oldest and most historic villages — had been swallowed by neglect and depopulation. But where others saw ruins, a family saw roots. This documentary tells the story of those who chose to bet on a forgotten corner of the island, breathing life, memory, and future back into it. A love letter to the land that shapes us.
