Filmmaker Lila Avilés, recent winner of the 66th Ariel Award in the categories of Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Female Supporting Actor, and Best New Actor for her film Tótem, joins us in a new episode of Léemelo, hosted by Humberto Busto, to talk about the books that have accompanied her throughout her life. Through a reading of Fernando Pessoa's "Libro del desasosiego," Lila Avilés underlines the importance of putting oneself in another's shoes, pointing out this author as someone who achieves this through his characters. She also shares with us how much Andrey Tarkovski has inspired her filmmaking and how profound this author is, not only through his films, but also his written work. Finally, she makes a great reflection on the way we look at and understand indigenous peoples with her recommendation of Miguel León Portilla's "Visión de los vencidos." Books read «The Book of Disquiet» by Fernando Pessoa «Sculpting Time» by Andrey Tarkovski «Vision of the Vanquished» by Miguel León-Portilla
