Vanessa Batista
Spain,
Cuba 2015 / 1:13:00
When her first nephew is born in Barcelona, director Vanessa Batista,
a Cuban who settled in Catalonia ten years ago, is inspired to
undertake a journey across her native country. In her search for
answers, she retraces the steps of Francisco Carulla, a Catalan
immigrant who made his first and final journey home in 1927,
recording his visit with a 16 mm camera.
Following Carulla’s accounts, Batista slowly pieces together the story
of Catalan immigration to Cuba, delving into the experiences of the
thousands of people who crossed the Atlantic in search of a better
life for different reasons.

The FISDN present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
