PROGRAM 1: CINE CACHINERO
1922 (2023, Ecuador, 30') & Por un cine cachinero (2024, Ecuador, 10')
In this program I've combined two films made with archival materials. The first film tries to respond to the question of what to do when there is no archival image for a historical event, the second film is a video essay-manifesto about experimental filmmaking in Guayaquil. Both are films about work, about workers striking and massacred in the streets of Guayaquil one hundred years ago and about filmworkers today, looking for their raw material on those very streets. They share a common objective: to shed light on people and practices that have been ignored from Ecuador's history books -History and film history books alike.
Program followed by discussion. Total program time: 1 hour.
