SYNOPSIS How does a child know that he is actually a tree? How does a tree know which child he will be reincarnated into? They say that before a tree dies, it visits its family in dreams. A found footage story that gives voice to forgotten childhood and its ecosystem. The nitrates of the film are freed from the original political function. The colonial Equatorial Guinea of 1926-1930, and are recycled with poetic justice, far from extractivist logic. Deciphering the enigma of the “other”.
Violeta Pagán
She is a psychologist and filmmaker, co-director of the Escuela Dentro Cine at Cineteca Madrid-Matadero, the first municipal, free and therapeutic film school aimed at adolescents and young people at risk of social exclusion, together with Pedro Sara. Founder of the association 24 posibilidades por segundo, which understands that art is transformative and is a tool for change in vulnerable groups. It emulsifies the transformative power of filmmaking and psychotherapy. She has been recognized in FICX Gijón, Iberodocs, Da Film and Alcances, among other festivals.
