About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

De Ana Rosa, mi abuela paterna, solo supe que era pianista y que la lobotomizaron en los años 50. De ella, sólo tengo una foto de una tarjeta de identidad. Quise saber quién era Ana Rosa y entender por qué le hicieron ese acto brutal. Por qué la mayoría de lobotomías en el mundo se hicieron sobre nosotras, las mujeres. 

Ana Rosa es un viaje a la historia de la psiquiatría.


I only knew about Ana Rosa, my paternal grandmother, that she was a pianist and that she was lobotomized in the 1950s. Of her, I only have a photo of an identity card.

I wanted to know who Ana Rosa was and understand why they did that brutal act to her.

Why most lobotomies in the world were done on us women?

Ana Rosa is a journey into the history of psychiatry.

The Colombian Film Festival

For many years the film industry in Colombia has often lacked the resources to produce national cinema. Among several setbacks, was the absence of a national audience who demanded Hollywood films. In recent years, Colombia has expanded its resources to support filmmakers throughout the country, since then the number of productions has increased dramatically. Juan Carvajal founded the Colombian Film Festival of New York in 2012. He noticed the small presence of Colombian cinema while visiting New York City. Determined to unify the existing diaspora of the country & new york community he set a goal to create a festival dedicated to the exhibition of Colombia’s roots and talent. Let’s discover and rediscover our story through film!
