About Evelyn S.

Soy realizadora audiovisual de profesión y fotógrafa por convicción.. desde el colegio empecé a explorar el mundo de la imágen. Hoy en día el género que más me gusta es el documental. Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de dirigir una serie documental para televisión llamada Relatos de Agua, es por eso que mis temas predilectos son los ambientales. De igual forma me interesa el medio social donde vivo y me muevo, su trasfondo político y gracias al interés que ha generado la colectiva a la que hago parte (Féminas festivas) el tema de mujer y género es también prioridad.

On his journeys with pilgrims from all over the world, people told him of their lives, their fortunes and misfortunes, their worries and their destinies. Some were so unusual, they had to be told. That’s how his first book Heavenly Paths came about. It was published under the German title: Verschlungene Wege in Germany, 2009. Six months later Himmlische Pfade was published. In April 2012 Gefühle brauchen Gefühle, Pahl’s 3rd book was released and immediately translated into Portuguese, under the title:Sentimentos precisam de Sentimentos.
