We met at the Öland Documentary Film School and together we explore issues related to work, migration, and center-periphery.
Leandro, with a master's degree in sociology from Sorbonne University in Paris, has presented documentary works at events such as the Tempo Documentary Festival and the Swedish Short Film Festival. His latest film, "Torget med många namn" (The Square with Many Names), has been exhibited at Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm.
