Presentation of the documentary “Ull a ull” and talk with its author Fina Sensada
Casa Asia organizes the presentation and the colloquium to discuss the documentary ULL A ULL produced by Fina Sensada. When the heart speaks and the heart sees, many secrets are revealed. It is a personal and human testimony of a displaced community, without a country, without a land, without papers, without rights or identity. The director travelled to the Kutapalong Rohingya refugee camp in southern Bangladesh, disguised among a medical team. This is how she was able to enter this concentration camp in which millions of people were crowded together and 20,000 orphaned children were wandering around plastic barracks and human remains. When she got close to them, she discovered how eyes can speak and convey their secrets to us in a universal language that only the eye of the camera can capture.
Fina Sensadadropped her studies in Economic Sciences for pursuing cinema. For more than thirty years she has worked as a freelancer in the national and international film industry, as a director. In 2005, she co-founded the non-profit production company La i La Produktions together with Dr. Fernando Fonseca, with the sole objective of
producing and making audiovisuals to raise awareness among the public about the problems generated by poverty and social exclusion in terms of health service. She has combined teaching at ESCAC (Barcelona), EICTV (Cuba) and the University of Santo Domingo with audiovisual production. She has just participated as a jury of the NETPAC
Section in the last edition of the Asian Film Festival Barcelona | AFFBCN 2020, after founding the Fernando Fonseca Foundation (Medicine and Cinema) to continue the work of Dr. Fonseca who died in 2014.
