Graduated in Creative Writing and Film from Columbia College, United States, she is a screenwriter and documentary director. Her interest has always been linked to social issues such as the situation of aboriginal artists in Australia, apartheid in South Africa, or the limbo encountered by the sailors of the former Soviet Union - which is the central theme of her first documentary, Anchored (2010). She is a member of the Academy of Cinematographic Sciences and Arts of Spain and co-founder of the BERDE collective, where she teaches film and creative writing workshops to adults with functional diversity, and directs a radio show that distributes free audio resources to families and children who do not have access to the Internet.
Fiercely independent, self-taught and critically acclaimed, Spanish photographer Cristina García Rodero, winner of the National Photography Award, was the first to capture her country's festivals - religious and pagan - and it took her 15 years to complete them. Today, half a century later, this warm, strong-willed and tireless 74-year-old artist continues to document how life, love, beauty and death are celebrated in the world. Cristina García Rodero: Eyes of the Soul, delves into her creative process, offering a privileged look at the artist.
