              Unveiled Views
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S013-SS007-0001 · Item · 2008
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              The author of this film hitchhiked from Tarragona to Pakistan with the object of shooting a film in the so-called “Islamic” countries, and doing so in a fashion that is different from the usual media stereotypes that pigeon-hole women. For thirteen months, she travelled and lived in Bosnia, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Unveiled Views portrays the lives of five women she met during her sojourn. These women have chosen art as a way to express themselves: public performances, cinema, music, poetry and dance are the tools they use -each in her own particular way- to unveil a personal vision of life.

              Passing the Rainbow
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S014-SS001-0084 · Item · 2007
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              Passing the Rainbow looks at ways of subverting the strict gender norms in Afghan society, in areas like performance and film production as well as in daily and political life. A theatre company run by a young teacher in Kabul who moonlights as an actress, a policewoman who also directs action films, an activist with the organisation RAWA who defends the radical separation of State and religion, and Malek, who lives as if she were a boy in order to get a job: these women are the heroines of Passing the Rainbow.
