María Silvia Esteve’s Thoughtful Abuse Survival Documentary ‘Mailin’ Steps in Where Justice Fails to
María Silvia Esteve's 'Mailin' won the 2|35 Post-Production Company Award at Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.
Additionally, “Mailin” had already scored a double award win at the Visions du Réel Industry 2022, under the care of Alejandra López (IKKI Films) as co-producer, and is supported by Argentina, France and Romania. In order to fit its inclusive storytelling, the style of “Mailin” interweaves different formal elements—animation, VHS archive, video-diaries—and a fairy tale narrated by the protagonist to her daughter. López and Esteve are keen for the film to “break the silence” around sexual abuse and empower a broader audience, not only at festivals, but regular cinemagoers and TV viewers.
