Los Urus: Living on the Totora Reeds of Lake Titicaca (Jorge Ruiz, 1951)

0 view(s)Not rated

Considered the first ethnographic film shot in Latin America, "Los Urus" documents the daily life of the Uru people of Lake Titicaca: fishing, bird hunting, and the building of totora-reed boats and dwellings. Jorge Ruiz filmed the last speakers of the Uru language, heirs of one of the oldest cultures of the Andes. The Smithsonian honored Ruiz with the James Smithson Bicentennial Medal (2006) for his pioneering visual anthropology.

Éric Julien: what the Kogi of the Sierra Nevada have to tell us (Sismique interview, 2024)

0 view(s)5/5 from 1 vote

French geographer Éric Julien, saved by the Kogi after a pulmonary oedema at 4,400 m, draws on thirty years alongside this people of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: territory understood as a living body, learning through experience, rites of passage, and a way of deciding in which the absence of women disqualifies the decision itself. Important caveat: this is relayed testimony — a Westerner speaking about the Kogi, not the Kogi speaking for themselves.

The Wayuu palabrero: settling disputes through the word (Colombian TV archives)

0 view(s)5/5 from 1 vote

The Wayuu normative system is the set of principles, procedures and rites that govern the social and spiritual conduct of the community of La Guajira (Colombia). It operates through the institution of the pütchipü'üi, the "palabrero": a mediator who resolves conflicts between matrilineal clans through the word and compensation, without violence. UNESCO inscribed this system on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010. Clip from the documentary series "La Guajira del Palabrero" by Doménico Restrepo Gómez, preserved by Señal Memoria, the archives of Colombian public broadcasting (RTVC).

The Andean Cosmovision of the Kallawaya: Itinerant Healers of Bolivia (UNESCO)

0 view(s)Not rated

This UNESCO film presents the Andean cosmovision of the Kallawaya, itinerant healers from the Bautista Saavedra region north of La Paz, Bolivia, whose roots go back to pre-Inca times. Their medicine rests on deep knowledge of Andean plant, animal and mineral pharmacopoeia and on ritual knowledge intimately linked to religious beliefs, passed down through generations. Inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008 (proclaimed a Masterpiece in 2003). (Sources: UNESCO, ich.unesco.org.)

Historia Patagonica de Luz y Piedra

0 view(s)5/5 from 1 vote

Documentaire tourné intégralement dans la province de Neuquén (Patagonie argentine), reconnu d'intérêt culturel par la Province. Il relie l'art rupestre millénaire — la grotte Epullán Grande, occupée depuis environ 10 000 ans, et le site de Colomichicó, 860 blocs gravés sur 16 hectares, sans équivalent en Amérique du Sud — aux constellations et aux récits des peuples Günün a Küna et Mapuche. Ces peintures sont de véritables archives : « ce sont nos livres », la mémoire collective inscrite dans la roche, qui se lit en miroir du ciel étoilé. Un appel à reconnaître ces cultures millénaires comme partie de l'Histoire — et à retrouver la mémoire en retournant regarder les étoiles.
