EVENTS

FILM SCREENING: UNSEEN

Film Screening & Q&A unseen. Monday, April 29, 2024 12:00 - 2:00 pm Santa Rosa Intercultural Center, Pioneer 380. Join us for the film screening of “Unseen” along with an opportunity to engage with pedro, (protagonist & co-writer) & Set Hernandez (director) . Film synopsis: Most people dream of a better future. Pedro, an aspiring social worker, is no different. But as a blind, undocumented immigrant, Pedro faces political restrictions to obtain his college degree, secure a job as a health care provider, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Through experimental cinematography and sound, unseen reimagines a cinema accessible for blind/low vision audiences, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.

Acompáñenos a disfrutar de la película “Unseen” (Lo que no se ve) y dialogar con Pedro (Protagonista y Coguionista) y con Set Hernández (Director). Sinopsis: La mayoría de la gente sueña con un futuro mejor. Pedro, un aspirante a trabajador social, no es diferente. Pero como inmigrante ciego e indocumentado, Pedro enfrenta restricciones políticas para obtener su título universitario, asegurar un trabajo en su campo y apoyar a su familia. Cuando finalmente se gradúa, la incertidumbre se cierne sobre Pedro. Lo que comienza como una jornada para proporcionar cuidado de salud mental a su comunidad, finalmente se transforma en el camino de Pedro hacia su propia sanación. A través del sonido y la cinematografía experimental, "lo que no se ve" reimagina la accesibilidad del cine, mientras explora las intersecciones de la inmigración, la discapacidad y la salud mental.
