In this Imagine special, anthropologist Martha-Cecilia Dietrich explores how self-taught filmmakers from Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia with indigenous backgrounds have taken up their cameras to tell their own stories — reclaiming horror as both a narrative form and a lived experience. The presentation will include a screening of the 2024 re-edit of Dietrich’s short documentary film Horror in the Andes (2019).
In this programme, we will screen four short genre films made by a new generation of Surinamese filmmakers in the Netherlands. After the screenings, moderator Sherlien Sanches – advisor International Heritage Cooperation at the Dutch Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage and founder and chairperson at the Indigenous Knowledge Centre International – will host a Dutch-spoken panel with the makers about the Surinamese stories they want to tell.
