Offering / 2023

The year 2023 marks the 35th anniversary of the association La Mujer y el Cine, and 43 female directors have come together to deliver a fragment of their gaze, a frame, an aesthetic and ethical decision, a tribute to women who anticipated the struggle. A leap into the void made by women filmmakers of different ages and backgrounds. United, in a sort of electronic loom, as an offering and a legacy in which a moment in the history of Argentine cinema is told, where we were all one, with our eyes on the past, our gaze on the present and the horizon full of the future.

Ofrenda depicts two women who, at various stages in their lives, happen to be in the same place. Being and time. That might sound vague, but this is nonetheless what it is.

The same spaces reoccur a few years later when the young women meet again when one of them returns with a backpack symbolising the knowledge acquired.

SAAKHELU KIWE KAME(OFFERING TO MOTHER EARTH) /

In the framework of the Colombian post-conflict, the Nasa indigenous people have been one of the peoples most affected by the war that has lived for more than fifty years in their territory. Conflict that has driven them little by little to forget and abandon their ancestral knowledge and ancient spiritual practices. Today it is a desire for them to return to walk in the footsteps of their ancestors and recover their uses and customs. Given this and their great concern for the revitalization of Mother Earth in times of climate change, they decide to re-practice one of their major rituals from their roots, whose sole objective is the offering of a sacrifice to Mother Earth, in order to connect in community with the spirits of nature, claiming for the mistreatment of man and thanking them for life. This offering is a tree called "Saakhelu".
