Esther Vital is a psychologist, cultural productor and artivist. As a PHD, she studies, researches and promotes arpilleras, a Chilean popular textile art born as an unique form of political resistance under Pinochet regime. She has coordinated psychosocial interventions from 2008 in Palestina, Basque Country and Brazil, using arpilleras as a mean of expression and confrontation under violent and oppressive circumstances. Searching Heleny is her first direction and an attempt to adapt to a cinematographic form this ancestral, soft, subversive and testimonial language to approach issues such as torture, kidnapping and disappearance.
