ABOUT
The School of Free Thought is a Philosophy project for intellectual disability, in an agora where everyone, regardless of ability, iswelcome. The extraordinary is poetically embedded in the ordinary, appropriating what is natural to it, materializing the possible utopia.
DIRECTORS
VICENTE NAVARRO
Vicente Navarro holds a degree in Fine Arts and has extensive experience as an editor in both documentary and fiction films. He has worked on titles such as La receta del equilibrio and the fiction feature Stanbrook. Most recently, he was the editor of Mientras seas tú, a documentary directed by Claudia Pinto that won the 2024 Goya Award for Best Documentary. His editing work brings a unique sensitivity and precise narrative that runs through every project he takes part in.
LIGIA PÁJARO
Ligia Pájaro draws on her training in Art and Experimental Cinema to develop an authorial perspective focused on the intimate observation of the human psyche. Her work is marked by a constant search for new narrative and aesthetic forms. She is currently developing the documentary "Escribe Libertad", a collective work inspired by the figure of Libertad, daughter of writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez—an essential figure in the history of Valencian and Spanish literature—and the first woman in Spain to be registered with that name. Through this project, Ligia explores the revealing creativity latent in the collective voice to embody the word and tell its own story.
