Sat 10th Dec 1pm at Sydney University, New Law Building
The Latin American Film Festival has been invited to program a free final day of film to cap off Indigenous Knowledges in Latin America and Australia: Locating Epistemologies, Difference and Dissent. This conference draws Indigenous educators from Argentina, Chile and Mexico to Sydney, as well as their local counterparts. As its grand public finale, the conference is putting on a long afternoon of free film in Sydney University’s flash new Law School. If eight hours of free documentary is the sort of thing that fires you up, the program starts at the Sydney University New Law Building from 1pm.
Films include various short films from Australian Western Desert filmmaker Curtis Taylor, along with director Genevieve Grieves presenting her film, Lani’s Story. From Chile will be screening Wallmapu, from Mapuche director, Jeannette Paillán, that traces the complex problem of present day territorial demands by the Mapuche in Chile. From Colombia will be screening Elderly Words – Colombian Indigenous film directors of the Arhuaco, Wiwa and Kogui communities, travel from the seashore to the snowy mountains, the territory of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which, according to them, is the “heart of the world”.
