Open Doors: Gloria Carrión and Nadean Rawlins on Cinematic Liberation

About this episode

<p>Join us for an exploration of resilience, creativity and the transformative power of cinema in the lives of our inspiring guests: director Gloria Carrión and producer Nadean Rawlins, both participants in the 2023 Open Doors Hub program focused on Latin America and the Caribbean.</p><p> </p><p>Gloria shared her journey from the 2018 civil uprising in Nicaragua to the creation of Leaves of K., a film born out of oppression and forced migration. Faced with government restrictions, she found refuge in Toronto and, in a way, in Open Doors, which enabled her to develop "Pantasma", a poignant coming-of-age story that challenges notions of the enemy through animation and unique media.</p><p> </p><p>Nadean, is in Locarno as the producer of "Raised by Goats" by Gibrey Allen, a film set in pre-independence Jamaica, exploring independence as individuals and as a country. She reflects on the transformative experience at Open Doors, the challenges of film funding in Jamaica and her commitment to making a difference.</p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p><p> </p><p>Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a></p><p>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a></p><p> </p><p>Host: Alexander Miller</p><p>Audio Producer: Jack Boswell</p><p>Video Producer: Claudia Campoli</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
