About
As someone whose first language isn't English, Jillian pulls together festival filmmakers for a conversation exploring how these screenwriters who also work and exist across multiple languages decide to create. How does this help or hinder their creative path? Is there a preferred language to create in? When are subtitles appropriate or even necessary? Are there emotions that can only be expressed in one language vs the other? They’ll explore these and many other questions around language and creative practice. Moderator: Jillian Deseree Oliveras Panelists: Joyzel ( NENA - Spanish, English) and An Nguyen ( We Used to Take the Long Way Home - Vietnamese, English) Jillian Desirée Oliveras Maldonado is a film curator, writer, photographer, and all-around storyteller born and raised in Puerto Rico, and currently based in New Orleans. They hold a Bachelor's Degree in Photography and a Master's in Arts Administration. As a film programmer and curator, Jillian believes film is a powerful catalyst for social change and advocates for underrepresented stories that shake up the norm.
