She has a love of travel and has lived in several countries including Argentina and Poland. She now lives in Leicestershire, UK. She was one of the organisers of 'Queer East Midlands Film Festival' in 2023. The festival curated films related to LGBTQ+ lives, experiences, and ways of viewing the world. She is an academic whose research interests include popular culture and politics of representation. This is her directorial debut film. Director StatementDocumenting and giving space to the personal stories from marginalised groups such as the LBGTQ+ community is more important than ever. Particularly given that there is ongoing dehumanisation and discrimination towards this community by anti-LGBT governments, politicians and groups.In contrast to such division, the film came about as a collaboration between a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Itoitz, and an ally, Steven. Despite both having differing experiences as to how the world has responded to them in terms of gender and sexuality and growing up in differing countries and cultures, they both had a shared interest in understanding and resisting oppression (as well as an enjoyment of film, food, drink, graphic novels and humour!).Aga's story highlights how culture and power can conceal from a person a core aspect of themselves. Her story also shows how new experiences, people and resistance can allow a person to grow, gain confidence and flourish.&nbsp; Please tell us your motivation for making your film:The directors are concerned with revealing oppressive cultural practices and how people resist these restrictions. We feel documenting and giving space to personal stories from marginalised groups such as the LBGTQ+ community is more important than ever. Particularly given that there is ongoing dehumanisation and discrimination towards this community by anti-LGBT governments, politicians and groups. What is the theme of your submission?:Identity, Oppression, Resistance What was the message you wanted to convey with this project?:The documentary and Aga's story highlights how culture and power can conceal from a person a core aspect of themselves. Her story also shows how new experiences, people and resistance can allow a person to grow, gain confidence and flourish.
