Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema 2018
February 28 - March 4, 2018
An exploration of the aftermath of a group of Bolivian political prisoners’ daring escape from a remote jail in the middle of Lake Titicaca in the seventies; screening with a short about a man’s journey through memory and time. Screening with Las nubes.
On November 2, 1972, 67 Bolivian political prisoners executed a daring escape from a makeshift jail in the middle of Lake Titicaca during a soccer game; the prisoners then sought asylum in Peru. Their stand against the brutality of Hugo Banzer’s dictatorship was a watershed moment, but interviews with locals who were forced to assist the dissidents reveal the cruel and complicated legacy of this “heroic” tale. The directors of this film admit their inability (personal and creative) to fully deal with history and memory, relying on a series of narrative devices, sometimes controversial, but always cinematic, to tell the story.
