Hunt of Wolves follows one man’s passage through repression, self-discovery, and rebellion. Under constant surveillance, he becomes both subject and enforcer—administering, celebrating, questioning, following, and resisting the system that contains him. When his defiance is exposed and made public, the stakes rise: will he survive the fallout, be pulled back into conformity, or carve a path toward a wilder future?
Runtime 33 minutes

Bosques de mi Mente
Ignacio Nieto Carvajal
Bosques de mi Mente is the moniker of Spanish composer Ignacio Nieto Carvajal, a minimalist composer of contemporary and cinematic music. He launched the project in 2007 in Spain, focusing on evocative, nostalgic soundscapes that explore the tension between noise and silence, memory and present reality.
Bosques de mi Mente blends piano, strings, found sounds, and electronic textures to craft music that pushes the boundaries of ambient, cinematic, and experimental genres. His compositions often evoke childhood memories and emotional landscapes, creating a fragile balance between chaos and calm. Several of his works are entirely improvised, captured in single takes to preserve their raw intimacy.
His compositions have been featured in films and theater productions, and performed internationally at festivals such as ROJO/Nova in São Paulo and events across Iceland and Brazil. His work has also been recognized with awards for best soundtrack in both stage and film contexts.
