El Sentir de las Montañas (The Feel of the Mountains)

Synopsis

El Sentir de las Montañas (The Feel of the Mountains) is an ethnographic documentary work made with members of the Latin American community in London. The film is divided into three chapters, through which we meet different people. Trying to understand more about some of the different situations that Latin American people have experienced or are experiencing in London, the film is an exploration of arrival, community and healing. Through the work we hear the story of an arrest, we meet a volleyball playing community and take a look at an alternative therapy.

A woman reading through script I Didn't Want To Be Here

Director: Fionnuala McCormack

Year: 2026

An intimate portrait of a women's group in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The documentary follows the women as they collaboratively create a stage production. Through writing sessions, rehearsals, and candid conversations, the women craft a performance rooted in their lived experiences - stories shaped by addiction, family fracture, and encounters with the justice system. The documentary follows the evolving group dynamic, capturing moments of vulnerability, frustration, and unexpected humour as the women negotiate what it means to share such personal stories in a public space for the first time.
