\u201cDisseminate the topics that interest us such as <\/span>migrant people<\/b> It is fundamental, because what is unknown is feared and, thus, it is made known to us in an honest way,\u201d says Patricia Azpelicueta, who was born in Argentina 58 years ago and has lived in Spain for two decades. She has been one of the participants in the <\/span>participatory documentary production workshop<\/b> which has organized the Valencia International Film and Human Rights Festival, <\/span>Humans Fest<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Continuing with the words of Patricia, who studied film direction and has participated in similar activities before: \u201cIt is important that a festival like this provides a space to tell our stories without intermediaries from our point of view and, above all, from the <\/span>wealth of perspectives<\/b>. For example, my work group was made up of a person from Morocco, another from Venezuela, another from Spain and me, who is from Argentina. \u201cWe each had different views.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This workshop is part of the <\/span>parallel programming<\/b> of the <\/span>XIII edition<\/b> of the Humans Fest, which has set the objective that migrants can claim their <\/span>rights<\/b>, denounce the different <\/span>violence <\/b>who suffer and be protagonists of Valencian audiovisual generating their own content, which breaks <\/span>stereotypes<\/b>. Held from April 7 to 10, it had the collaboration of CEAR Pa\u00eds Valenci\u00e0, Jesuit Migrant Service, Valencia Acoge, the Consulate of Colombia, Por Ti Mujer and the Women, Voices and Resistances association.<\/span><\/p>\n Tani Alexandra Aparicio, also participating in this activity, agrees on the need to promote activities like this. Originally from Colombia, she is 28 years old and she migrated to Spain about five years ago. She is a Social Worker specialized in Human Rights, Peace and Sustainable Development, but she has not been able to practice as such here. While solving multiple procedures for this, she is taking on care, cleaning and hospitality jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Humans Fest workshop has meant being able to create our <\/span>own narratives<\/b> and have a space <\/span>learning <\/b>and of <\/span>exchange <\/b>to communicate what we feel and what we want in the best possible way to Spanish society. We start from the need to transform the existing spaces, mostly white and privileged, into new ones where we can express the <\/span>human rights violations<\/b> to which we are subjected and to which we are in constant risk, such as <\/span>treats <\/b>and even the <\/span>death <\/b>when we are condemned to return to the contexts from which we fled trying to safeguard our lives,\u201d explains Tani.<\/span><\/p>\n The activity has brought together a total of <\/span>Twelve people<\/b> from different countries (Senegal, Mali, Venezuela, Spain...) who have been accompanied by the team of Harvest<\/a>, a Valencian production company specialized in <\/span>audiovisual <\/b>as a tool for <\/span>social change<\/b>. The workshop has given rise to <\/span>three participatory short films<\/b> that will premiere during Humans Fest, which this year will be held from June 9 to 18. The premiere, like most of the festival's screenings, will be accompanied by a round table with the authors of these works and the entities involved.<\/span><\/p>\n CINEMA IS ALSO PRODUCED IN PICASSENT PRISON\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
