Program
Ayllu: Memories and Visions
Ariel Chalán, Ecuador, 18 minutes | Original version in Spanish and Kichwa, with English subtitles
The story of the evolution of a traditional administrative system that enables the Ñamarín community to address its water-related challenges and shape its future.
Madiziwaynane Mamaway Abinodichoc
Marie-Jeanne Anichinapeo, William Papatie, Canada, 9 minutes (Wapikoni) | Original version in French and Anicinapemowin, with French subtitles
During their 48 years of marriage, William and Marie-Jeanne have welcomed over 70 children into their home, giving them love and support. They remind us of the importance of parental responsibility, education, the passing down of knowledge and connection with nature. Their commitment conveys a deep conviction: every child deserves a future, and community plays a vital role in building better lives.
Echoes Within
Original version in English, Koch and Assamaise, with English subtitles | Pranami Koch, India, 26 minutes
A diary film to rebuild the severed connection between myself and my identity as an Indigenous Koch woman. The film serves as an excuse to construct my lost identity, which now remains at a distance, perforated with nostalgia and an imagined sense of belonging. Without any visual memory of my grandmother, whom I never met, I am searching for her through the stories of my father, as well as the women of the community, a matrilineal society in the remote northeastern borderland of India.
Ninawa: Landmarks of Hope
Original version in Spanish and Portuguese, with French subtitles | Oliver Coast Sullenger, Switzerland, 35 min
The urgent fight of the last Huni Kuin population without officially landmarked territory, led by their cacique/leader Ninawa, to protect their ancestral lands in the Amazon’s Acre region. Threatened by deforestation, invasions of cattle ranchers and water poisoning, Ninawa’s battle to demarcate his community’s territory highlights the deep spiritual connection between Indigenous people and nature.
