Aurora Colina

Experimental film that, through two narrative lines—dance and photography—reimagines The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca.

Casire is a peasant community on the slopes of the Sara Sara Volcano in the south of Peru. Two hundred people still live in the community. The film narrates the story of the Volcano´s spell on the community, when she discovered that incestous relationships were practised there. She erupted, leaving the village in ruins, but being a female herself considered the men guilty and allowed only the women to remain in the village. The film tells what happens after the Spanish conquest when the Christian decided to put an end to the Volcano’s power to cast spells, and the state of the village nowadays.

A film in three episodes: "Boarding House", "Chaparro Always Pays" and "Little Saturday".

In this Peruvian look at the beginning of the 20th century in Lima, the life of a fictitious leftist labor organizer Vicente Orozco (Humberto Cavero) is traced back to 1900 to illustrate the conditions that led to his radicalization. This background and Vicente's efforts to unionize his fellow workers are thoroughly explored in the 140-minute running time.
