Nuestra voz de tierra, memoria y futuro

The dominant subject of Marta Rodríguez and Jorge Silva is the centuries-long oppression of farmers and indigenous peoples in Colombia, and their equally long resistance. Coming from a vocabulary informed by Marxism, indigenous narratives describing the beginning of the universe became more and more influential in their later work. The film is the result of this clarification process – unthinkable without the critical participation of the indigenous farmers of Coconuco. Its images form a tightly woven system of signs: furrows in the landscape, the backs of animals, the gestures of monuments, the myths and masks of the people and the breath that brings musical instruments to life.
