Screening of Fernando Pérez film, La pared de las palabras

Introduced by its producer Daniel Díaz Ravelo.

In The Wall of Words, Luis, since childhood, has suffered from dystonia and cannot communicate through body language or words. Between the medical institution and family, his inner life is an impenetrable wall. By crafting a fictional story of a family that falls apart when one of the siblings becomes disabled, Pérez provides a parable of the difficult topics of human communication, pain and the limits of sacrifice.

Daniel Díaz Ravelo is an audiovisual producer. He currently works as Production Manager for both fiction and documentary films for the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry, (ICAIC), as well as domestic and foreign independent projects.

Sponsored by the Rohatyn Center, and the departments of Spanish and Portuguese, Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies, Film and Media Culture, and Latin American Studies.
