Born in 1943 in Chancay, Peru, Barea started working in cinema as a production assistant on Jorge Sanjin\u00e9s and Ukamau Group\u2019s project \u201cEl Enemigo Principal\u201d (1973). In 1982, she co-founded the film collective Grupo Chaski, with which she made the films \u201cMiss Universo en el Peru\u201d (1982) and \u201cGregorio\u201d (1985). Three years later, Barea left Chaski due, according to Isabel Segu\u00ed, \u201cirreconcilable differences regarding project management and the allocation of power within the group\u201d or, in the filmmaker\u2019s words, \u201cMachismo-Leninismo.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1989, Barea co-founded the Warmi Group (Quechua for \u201cwoman\u201d), the first collective of women filmmakers in Peru and began developing collaborative projects. If the foundation of Warmi stands as a turning point of collectivist filmmaking, allowing to complexify its history in light of the persistence of power structures within film collectives and in terms of gender categories, among others, the production of the feature \u201cAntuca\u201d (1992), focusing on the life of its titular character, a young domestic worker from Cajamarca, is one of its key moments. Shot in 35 mm and premiered at Berlinale but swiftly made invisible, \u201cAntuca\u201d was made by Barea in collaboration with Warmi and the organization IPROFOTH (Domestic Workers\u2019 Promotion and Training Institute), dedicated to educational work for migrant and Indigenous women domestic workers. Horizontal collaborative modes of organization were developed for the film\u2019s production against the backdrop of a society structured by internal colonialism and intertwined categories of class, race and gender domination, such as the Peruvian one. But horizontality also acquires formal expression on the figuration of the Indigenous cosmovision and temporal conception through narrative structures and film forms such as the circular camera movements. \u201cAntuca\u201d is indeed one of the most prominent examples of a situated aesthetic in the history of Latin-American (and international) cinema.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]Maria Barea<\/strong> was born in 1943 in Chancay, Peru.
