Through experimental film forms, the works present sensory situations in which the observer is tacitly exposed to the gaze of the observed, \u201cseeing being seen\u201d processes and co-presence experiences close to a model of co-representation exceeding the subject\/object seemingly stable opposition. The activation, agency and circulation of perspectives (human and non-human, machinic, animal, vegetable, mineral) are central to these films. They overcome the colonial representations of landscape, nature and the human figure in a framework of reciprocity and de-anthropocentralization, a fundamental issue in a period of imminent ecological catastrophe and threat to the Amerindian peoples.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Synopsis” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]On July 19, 1929, in a town in Colombia, a group of shoemakers fought to improve living and working conditions in the country. They called themselves \u201cThe Bolsheviks of L\u00edbano Tolima.\u201d Their revolution lasted only one day, and its traces were almost completely lost. The women of this village share with Aura, an anarchist grandmother, a feeling that their rebellion is still going on.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Bios” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Maria Rojas Arias<\/strong> (Colombia) is a visual artist and filmmaker, graduated from KASK, School of Arts Gent, Belgium.
