Makun (don't cry)

The creative trajectory of Emilio Martí shows his commitment to those social issues that exhibit the problems of coexistence and solidarity in today's society. Since his short film Desanimado (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') is an animated documentary film made from the drawings found on the walls of the CIE del Matorral, on the island Canary Island of Fuerteventura, and the testimonies of three people who arrived in Spain "without papers", by boat or after a long and difficult journey through several countries.
