Journey to a land otherwise known, Laura Huertas Millán, France-Colonbia, 2011, 23'
Shot in Lille's Tropical Greenhouse (France) Journey to a Land Otherwise Known is based on European accounts and studies that hark back to the discovery of America, formalizing a surreal ethnography of the New World. A "first contact" film, staged on the fake jungle of an European botanical garden.
Aequador, Laura Huertas Millán, France-Colonbia, 2012, 19'
A journey upstream the Amazon river where Modernist constructions have been abandoned like the memories of an engulfed civilisation of the future. A science-fiction documentary evoking the colonization of nature, former utopias in the Latin America forests and their cohabitation with the present.
La Libertad, Laura Huertas Millán, Frantzia-Kolonbia, 2017, 31'
Matriarchies have assembled around the backstrap loom, a weaving Pre-Hispanic technique preserved for centuries by indigenous women in Mesoamerica. La Libertad unfolds like a weaving of figures and gestures constituting this labour, circulating between a domestic space, an archeology museum and a cooperative. Various communities and ecologies entwine around handicraft - tracing, echoing, articulating, expanding liberty.
