In 2006 she finished her fist documentary “La Plaza” (2016), an autobiographic reflection on subjects such as family, memory and the physical space around us. It premiered at Alcances Documentary Film Festival of Cadiz, wining the UPTOFEST prize for best medium-length film. Her following work, “Pennie” (2018), a portrait documentary reflecting on the concepts of feminity, body and sex work, was selected as closing film for the November Film Festival (London) and as part of Festival Rizoma’s parallel section Voyeur (Madrid), as well as being screened at an art gallery context. Clavo has also attended art residencies and been part of numerous talks and panel discussions in spaces such as Nottingham Contemporary and EACC (Space for Contemporary Art Castelló). She’s also passionate about teaching and leads courses and workshops on filmmaking with an LGBTQ+ focus, as well as the portraying of intimacy in the audio-visual medium, specifically scenes with simulated sex and/or nudity.
The book mentioned in the interview is LA VIDA COTIDIANA DEL DIBUJANTE UNDERGROUND, by Nazario.
