What conditions enable people from Roma and Sinti communities to make films and have a voice in their own narratives? Following the screening of *Isaura* and *Three Thousand Numbered Pieces*, actress and activist Maria Gil, anthropologist and researcher Ana Rita Alves, and filmmaker Sandra Ofélia Monteiro discuss self-representation, access to training and production, and the boundaries between visibility and exploitation. Bringing together artistic practice, research and activism, the conversation connects these issues with the structural exclusion, racism and hate speech affecting Roma and Sinti communities in Europe.
