Makun ('Don't Cry')

Emilio Martí

The creative trajectory of Emilio Martí demonstrates his commitment to those social issues that exhibit the problems of coexistence and solidarity in today's society. Since his short film Unanimated (2011), winner of countless awards, his work has not stopped betting on a lively and effective story in its didactic and emotional claims, always using animation as an expressive key. With this short film, also highly awarded, he brings us closer to the harsh reality of the Internment Centers for Foreigners (CIE) and the personal experiences of immigrants.

Synopsis: Makun (‘Don't Cry’) eis an animated documentary film made from the drawings found on the walls of the CIE del Matorral, on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura, and from the testimonies of three people who arrived in Spain "without papers”, in a boat or after a long and difficult journey through several countries.
