The Best Work You May Never See: Rodrigo Garcia Saiz Directs “The HInVisible Celebrity” To Address Spain’s Stigma Over HIV

Still, though, the figure either leaves himself out of the picture, faces away from the camera, or dons the pixelated mask associated with anonymous admission. “The HInVisible... Read More
