Description |
Interview in London with the world renowned Bolivian film-maker, Jorge Sanjines, conducted in Spanish by Olivia who translates Sanjines' answers into English. Sanjines speaks about each of his films from the formation of Grupo Ukamau who set out to create a 'cinema of de-colonisation', reclaiming an authentic national cultural identity, and a 'cinema from the people' through the active collaboration of the 'subjects' of each film. This led to a group of films which provide an authentic and sensitive expression of the lives of the Quechua and Aymara Indian nations. Sanjines speaks about abandoning the individual protagonist and consciousness in his films in favour of a collective consciousness, the move from an urban to rural setting with a focus on the peasants and how his film screenings are always followed by a discussion to take them beyond pure entertainment to an educational dimension. |
