The loaves and the fish
Irene M. Borrego
In a little village in the heart of Serbia Mirko takes care of the old and small Serbian Orthodox church of the community. Every day he opens the church and with strong dedication prepares all details for the service that the priest will give. When everything is ready, Mirko rings the bells. Only an old and devoted woman enters the church: she is the only person attending the service. But one day not even the old lady arrives.
As a young Economics graduate she worked as a strategic consultant before changing her path to move in a new direction. She graduated in Film Directing from the Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV (EICTV), in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba. Later on she extended her studies at The London Film School. In 2013 and 2014 she became a Prado Museum scholar.
Living in Mexico for several years, she cooperated with diverse press media in the culture section as well as worked as an assistant director for several Latin-American features. Back to Spain she co-founded 59 en Conserva.
