The short film In the summer, when I come back by Alberto Prados has received a new selection in the Positively Different (#PDSFF24) film festival in Athens, which starts next Thursday, March 7th. It is an event created with the purpose of raising awareness and reflecting on topics such as intersectionality and the discrimination that exists around dissident experiences of gender, race, sexuality and able-bodiedness.

Congratulations!

Last week we welcomed both a new documentary and a fictional story to our catalogue, as you could have read in our last #Digital104 blog entry. Both movies bring us closer to what life is for people living in isolation. On one hand, in The Wheat Curse, by the directors Pablo and Álvaro Montes Sánchez, we take a peek at the hard reality of the saharwi refugee camps in Tinduf from a new perspective never explored before.
On the other hand, Matches by Carlos Doniz takes place during a regular, mundane day of an elderly couple who only have each other in March 2020 when Spain was living in confinement.

We wish both films the best of luck in this new journey!

Sometimes, when we discuss the living conditions of people living in refugee camps, we forget about certain difficulties that become nearly invisible. This serves as a starting point for Pablo Montes Sánchez and Álvaro Montes Sánchez, who direct the short film titled The wheat curse featured in today's #TrailerFriday. A story that takes us to the Algerian region of Tindouf, home to more than 170,000 Sahrawis. In a place of inhospitable conditions and scarcity, the Sahrawi population lives on dwindling humanitarian aid. Six percent of them face the added difficulty of coeliac disease.

From February 23rd - 25th in Limasol, Chipre.

Good luck!

Another week goes and a new #TrailerFriday comes. Today we'd like to share a sneak peek of Translucent Women by Agustín Domínguez. It's a docufiction about the story of Natalia, a young immigrant woman, with great family responsibilities, in a situation of vulnerability and social exclusion, who suffers from great financial vulnerability, great mobility and great ignorance of her rights.

Do not miss it!
