Ms. Lindarte is a fervent cinephile and curator of Sephardic and Mizrahi cinema, with a special interest in analyzing the Boureka and post-Boureka genres, as well as Iranian Jewish cinema. Years of study, and great passion for the rich Sephardic and Mizrahi heritage, has also led her to research two dialects of Judeo-Spanish: Ladino and Haketía. She has decided to film the traces of these languages, in their respective diasporas. This is a journey that starts in Al-Andalus peninsula, passes through the countries of the former Ottoman Empire, until finally crossing the Atlantic to North America, South America and the Caribbean Islands. Diana is the founder of LindartPR, a Music Marketing Agency with a neurodiversity approach.
