Isolated and Deprived, 27min., USA
Directed by Estela Imigo, Víctor Gutiérrez
The community of the Quinchao Archipelago, Chiloé, is isolated due to connectivity problems that force them to uproot themselves from their territories to access health, education, among others. This crisis has been unleashed because private marine transport companies do not comply with travel schedules and arbitrarily raise transport rates. It is because of this that the islanders decide to organize to demand a solution to their problems.
CROSSING WOMEN -THE INVISIBLE SUPPORT OF THE BORDER, 30min., Argentina/Chile
Directed by Pablo Mardones Charlone, Javier Astudillo
Through the wandering, life and work of women in the Andean Triple-Border (Bolivia, Chile and Peru), and the Paraná Triple-Border (Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) we know a story of female invisibility and vulnerability. Through a voice-over that personifies them, we understand that, despite precarious working conditions, the tasks of caring for and maintaining the family have always rested on them. It will be a chain of (trans) border sorority that will allow, despite the adversities, that they invisibly sustain the rhythm of these borders.
Beat Keepers: The Next Chapter, 43min., Canada
Directed by Cindy Goldberg
A powerful and inspiring documentary that follows a group of talented female drummers as they unite for a life-changing three-day retreat in Dallas, Texas. Through the raw energy of rhythm, unwavering mutual support, and a shared passion for music, these women forge deep, lasting connections and celebrate the transformative power of music to heal, empower, and unite.
