Although We Are Islands
Thursday 12 March 2026, 19:30 hours
Teatro Riera, Villaviciosa
► This screening will feature the presence of the documentary director, Cristina R. Paz
A filmmaker in professional crisis embarks on a journey to the last fareras. What begins as an external search ends up as an interior story where the process of making a film intertwines with the stories. The fareras will show another way of being in the world.
This film is a letter to her nephew, and to those who wonder why tell invisible stories. It is an ode to the documentary, to its lights and shadows, to its power to capture what is about to disappear, as well as to illuminate one’s own path. Taking life as a journey will mean a professional and personal rebirth.
Direction and script : Cristina Rodríguez Paz
