Ivan Ruiz, psychoanalyst and psychologist in Barcelona, will be at the Institute Cervantes Dublin to present his film Other Voices. A different outlook on autism. Being also an artist, photography and music are used in a unique way in the realisation of this film. The event will be at 6.30 in Café Literario.

Other Voices is a documentary based on the testimony of Albert, a 21-year-old young man, diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. His thoughts inside a maze, the conversations he has with a friend from his town and a trip to Brussels visiting the Tintin Museum bring us closer to his particular way of living and understanding the world.

The world of autism, approached from the perspectives of subjectivity, singularity and respect, is reflected in and reflected on through the testimonies of parents, grand-parents and psychoanalysts. A different view on autism that offers insight into the multiplicity of possible ways of being and surviving in the world. A song of dignity and, arguably, a question of civilization.

After the screening (English subtitles) there will be time for debate and dialogue with the audience.
