[ecrea] The Ukamau Group. One-day Symposium

Wed Apr 25 20:29:12 GMT 2018



One-day symposium:

*The Ukamau Group: New Perspectives on Cinematic Practices, Overshadowed Practitioners, and Texts. *

**

Monday 28th of May 2018

Department of Film Studies. University of St Andrews (Scotland)

The Bolivian film group Ukamau developed one of the most remarkable trajectories of Latin American political cinema, since the 1960s. Their work methodology was characterised by the incorporation of the Andean indigenous populations and subaltern subjects to emancipatory cinematic processes in countries (Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador) without well-established film industries. To this end, the Ukamau group created a decolonised cinematic practice and a filmic language based on the Andean cosmovision to communicate effectively and coherently with their target audiences, the Andean indigenous peasant and working-class majorities.

This event is designed to offer Ukamau’s specialists, from both sides of the ocean, the possibility of sharing their latest research findings on Ukamau’s practices and texts, with an especial focus on newer perspectives, such as transnational, pan-Andean, decolonial, feminist, and production and labour approaches.

Everyone welcome. Please note that the event is bilingual (English and Spanish).
