Africa 815

Pilar Monsell's archival work and experimentation in her production company, Proxémica, have positioned her at the forefront of creative documentary filmmaking. Africa 815, her first feature-length film, received numerous nominations and awards.

With this documentary, the author demonstrates great courage in reinterpreting, from her perspective, the complex history of her father.

Synopsis: Through her father Manuel Monsell's photographs and diaries from his military service in the Spanish colony of Western Sahara in 1964, the author contrasts the myths of romantic love and the ideal family with one's true desires and the need to find oneself.
