Docs&Talks

Docs&Talks

Docs&Talks is a podcast created by Inés Calero and Laura García, which arises from the need to share non-fiction cinema. We are not yet clear who is Docs and who is Talks but we feel closer to that conjunction that unites them and connects life and cinema. What we do know is that we are interested in disseminating stories with a gender perspective and that innovate in their cinematographic language.
