Carmen Bellas

Ávila, Spain, March 28, 1526. With the help of her cousins, Teresa, who is eleven years old, writes a letter to her mother with the purpose of asking her to allow her to change her name to that of her favorite saint.

Memorias de ultramar is built around footage shot by families that lived in the colonies, provinces and territories under Spanish domain between 1940 and 1975. A parade of snapshots common of those who move to a different country and start a new home. This scrapbook pages keep on turning, but in some moments the screening stops, the editor rewinds, zooms in, focuses and looks for echoes lying inside this trove of family mementos and memories.

'When we were wild' is a free and evoking tour that progressively abandons a classic documentary structure to become a first person essay.
