Juanjo Giménez's short film Timecode cleverly examines the nexus between modern technology and human connection. It is distinctive and visually arresting. The narrative is told through a sequence of security camera clips that show Luna and Diego, two security guards who work in a parking lot, going about their daily business. A beautiful dance of connection is created from what starts off as a straightforward observation of their daily tasks, demonstrating how movies have the ability to take the commonplace and make it special. Giménez skillfully crafts a surprise and endearing relationship between the individuals by making the most of the viewpoint constraints imposed by the security camera.
