In this deeply personal video diary, a young researcher tries to make sense of her fascination for the film "The Pain of Others" by Penny Lane. A deep dive into the discomforting world of YouTube and online conspiracies, that challenges traditional notions of what documentary cinema is, or should be.
"One of the best films ever made about watching a documentary" (David Schwartz, Chief Curator at the Museum of the Moving Image, New York)

In Chia, a group of girls who are part of a young orchestra rehearse for the next concert. Intrigued by what lies behind their aspirations, the director visits their mothers, and in the intimacy of their homes, they talk about single motherhood, poverty, and dreams. Filmed during three periods, in 2014, 2016 and 2018, this documentary constructs a collective and honest portrait of girls and women in Colombia.

I am a documentary enthusiast. I watch, make, research, teach, and write about documentary films. I grew up in a small village called Bunyol, Spain, and spent most of my childhood in an old cinema run by my family. There I developed a fascination for filmmaking. I studied Journalism at the University of Valencia (2003-08). Since I finished my Masters in Innovation and Quality in TV (University Pompeu Fabra, 2009), I have been working as documentary researcher, filmmaker, and editor for several productions, such as Dr. Moises Broggi (TV3, Spain, 2010), I wasn’t always dressed like this (D-AEP, UK, 2013), and Changing of the Guard (Telesur, UK, 2018). In 2014, I won a scholarship by Ibermedia to complete a Diploma in Creative Documentary at the University del Valle, Colombia. I teach documentary filmmaking workshops at the University of Essex, in England, and make independent documentaries and other videos. My work has been awarded by UNESCO and Talencia, and has been shown at art galleries. Currently, I am doing a practice-based PhD on practices, politics, and aesthetics of Latin American women pioneers in documentary filmmaking at UCL.
