Please invite me to Greece

Whenever I ask myself the question about which countries I would like to visit, I realize that I am a geek.

I usually think of countries with an interesting and meaningful history for me.

One of them is Greece, because when we were taught about Ancient Greece in school I was fascinated to think that so many disciplines were developed in one place so long ago. I find it fantastic.

That is why I would like to get to know Athens and its architectural wonders, especially the Acropolis where the Parthenon is located.

My idol Catalina Rayo

More than admire, I have a lot of respect for my teacher Catalina Rayo Calderón. She is my professor of “Cinema Theory”, his class leave me thinking about the contents and topics that the films have dealt with throughout history. She is a Chilean academic licensed of Art from the Pontificia Universidad Católica MA in Film Studies from Columbia University, New York, and MA in Digital Journalism from the University of Santiago. She has a six year of work and educational experience in the field of audiovisual and film, also she dedicated to doing independent research, oil painting and independent translation. In his research has addressed the issues of Women's cinema, Feminism and Marxism, Art and Cinema Theory. Some of his work are: "¿Cómo debería verse un filme feminista?: Sara Gómez y de cómo la igualdad de género es problemática en la Cuba revolucionaria de los años 70s” or “Cine Rojo en la China de Mao: Una lectura profunda al filme de Xie Jin, The Red Detachment of Women (1961)”. Finally I admire her because although she is a very literate and well-educated person, she is very simple, in addition to being a person with very defined ideals and who is consistent with them.

Dear movies

The first time I went to the cinema my godmother took me. I do not go to the movies so often, but I’ve seen a lot of shows on Netflix with my mom. In general, the kind of films I like are dramas, mystery, psychological terror, maybe fantasy and I love musicals especially for all the staging, the choreography and all that. I don't have a favorite film director, but I prefer the European cinema. In fact, the best movie I’ve seen in this year was “Mar adentro” a Spanish film about euthanasia, it’s so emotional and dramatic.  And the last movie that I saw it was “The others”, a terror film. 

I can’t choose one favorite film, but like lately I’ve seen more series, I can see I have a favorite TV series: “Dark” a German television serial about a little town that lives around a nuclear plant and where disappearances of children occur. In the course reveal different secrets that hide four families around the disappearances, their personal stories and the nuclear plant.  

I like this series a lot because it has a very entertaining and complex plot among the families that star it, for the theories about time-space that it poses and because it is a series that keeps you attentive to every detail that happens, which contributes to suspense and mystery. In June of 2019 the new season comes out and I think I'll have to see it again. I've seen it twice but I would see it again because every time I discover new pieces of the puzzle, that's why I really recommend it. 

My favourite piece of technology

She is “Preciosa”, my photographic camera, I choose that name inspired by a character from “Ice Age”, which was basically the mascot of a crazy old woman, a whale. Anyway, I got it a year ago, when finally I could buy it, after having worked for it. I felt very fulfilled when I finally had it in my hands, because this was a goal I had a long time ago. Now that I have it, I try to use it as much as I can, although I would like to use it more. But it has been my salvation in college and very important tool. I would love to take her with me always, but being an object of great value, it makes me a little afraid that I will be assaulted and robbed of it, so that’s why I do not take it out so much. But every time I travel, I take her with me no matter what. I guess without her today I would know very little about photography, because I could not put it into practice.

The long road of how I chose my career

When I was just a little girl, smaller than now, I wanted to be a dancer, painter or veterinarian. I was six years old when I was like to make drawings and sculptures, that is registered in photos, so I was always interested in art and aesthetics in some way. Since I was a child I have danced in different academies, also my parents are actors, then I have always been closely linked to scenic arts. But, at a time in my life I loved the dinosaurs, because I played a video game about then, so I wanted to be paleontologist. Anyway, that is the closest to I have been to science. In the high school History become my favorite subject, which motivated me to choose the social science plan, but in the fourth degree I decided to change to the artistic plan. At that time my options were very varied:  Arts, photography, geography, architecture, art history, design... but none could convince me. Finally, I decided to study cinema because I found an option in which I could work with many things that I liked. So far, the career has been challenging, the hardest thing has been the group work. But what I enjoy the most is see movies and the works of my classmates. I would like to have a job where I can forma good work teams and find challenges you to grow, evolve and succeed.
