Correspondence

2020 · 19 min

A quiet, intimate exchange of images and voices that feels like overhearing a thoughtful letter, gently personal yet touched by distant upheaval.

Directed by: Carla Simón, Dominga Sotomayor
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Mari Simón, Carla Simón, Ani Pipó

Overview: In the form of a filmed epistolary conversation, two young, experienced filmmakers discuss film, present and past family, heritage and maternity. The personal and profound reflections—which are embodied in the graceful images taken day-to-day—are suddenly echoed by the political emergency of a country.
