Neighboring Scenes 2022
February 24 - 28, 2022
In Sofia Velázquez’s playful debut documentary film, the filmmaker pays homage to writer César Vallejo, using first-person tales from different people in Santiago de Chuco, the Andean town in northern Peru where Valejo was born and raised. Screening with León Siminiani’s The Stillness Syndrome
Sofia Velázquez’splayful documentary debut was made in Santiago de Chuco, an Andean town in northern Peru, where the writer César Vallejo—one of the most important Latin American authors of the 20th century—was born and raised. The isolated town was also the main setting for the writer’s poems. Using the pretense of a casting call, the filmmaker records first-person tales to portray the memories of different people and, through them, that of an entire town. About Everything There Is to Know is an endearing film about fortuitous encounters informed by the legacy and aura of a literary icon.
