David Fernández de Castro & Marc Parramon : 2019
Me llamo Violeta
Two very different families with one thing in common: in both there is a transgender child. Violeta, eleven, daughter of actor Nacho Vidal, is having a relatively placid transition so far, although her parents, at first baffled, took a while to accept her new identity. Alan did not have that luck: a victim of harassment at school, the support of his family was not enough to prevent his suicide, an end that shocked his school and his hometown. Focused above all on these two stories, this deeply emotional film shows that our society is making progress in accepting transgender children but that there is still a long way to go. David Fernández de Castro and Marc Parramon's documentary premiered at Festival de Málaga 2019, and was winner of the Audience Award and the Amnesty International Award at DocsBarcelona International Documentary Film Festival 2019. Their film screened in the Made in Spain section at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2019.
