[WE ARE HERE Festival] Thru her eyes: Indigenous films

WE ARE HERE begins with a night of womxn directors reimagining indigenous narratives and uplifting their communities.

The Aymara people of so-called Bolivia, understand time differently than western culture, looking towards the past with the future behind oneself. We face the past daily as we work to build our futures. Our filmmakers hold a thorough comprehension of this way of thinking. In this age of cultural amnesia, they recognize the importance of delving deep into the past in order to understand the future.
