A meeting with Gemma Blasco about the creation process of In anger.
This meeting of the film program is conceived as a conversation in which the director and co-writer will share what it was like to compose a film that conveys personal experience with a more raw and visceral look at sexual violence. A sample of his work files and filming documents on which he relied for the construction of a new imaginary of his representation in the audiovisual.
