STATISTICS:
Maria Luisa Bemberg, Argentine motion-picture director challenged tradition when she embarked on a directing career after expressing disappointment at the way her semiautobiographical screenplays were interpreted by male directors and later emerged as Latin America's foremost female director.
In UK, young people aged 15 to 24 are the most likely age group to go to the cinema.
Soñadora (40 sec)

This film is a voyeuristic peek at people's fears and desires while they sleep.

I want my work to offer a short respite from life and make people forget about the irrational and sometimes insensitive world in which we live. Dreaming has always been our best escape.

Dreams from the night before affect our waking hours. This animation is a visual presentation of the energy and activity that my body uses while I am asleep. It shows me traveling from place to place in a single night.

Soñadora was an idea that I always wanted to try, so I laid out the concept in a rough storyboard and completed it in 24 hours.  I hope to continue making short films about the simple, seemingly obvious things that happen everyday. I want to discover beauty in ordinary life and, in doing so, make the ordinary extraordinary.

In my films I try to address social issues, such as tolerance, justice and love, as well as situations that we usually underestimate and ignore. I hope to give a more optimistic view of life, while at the same time addressing problems and situations that concern me and my generation of women.
