¿Cuál es el territorio ancestral del pueblo
mapuche y su población actual?
¿Por qué su proceso de movilización social ha
ido creciendo?
¿Cómo responden los estados chileno y
argentino a sus demandas?
¿Cuáles son las multinacionales presentes en
sus territorios y sus impactos?
¿Cómo se proyectan esas luchas frente a un

excluyente? |

Film
screening and conversation with
Filmmaker:
Guita Schyfter
and
Screenwriter:
Hugo
Hiriart This
lovingly hand-made documentary from director Guita
Schyfter ("Novia que te vea," ILFF 2006) examines
parallel stories of the search for identity and
origin. Beginning with the image of giant turtles
making their slow march back to the sea, the
narrator reminds us that these animals always
return to the beach of their birth. This symbolic
image becomes the backdrop for intriguing
cross-generational tales of political exile,
displacement and the search for roots. Schfyter, a
Jew born in Costa Rica to a Lithuanian mother and
Ukranian father, traces the stories of her
ancestors from Central America to Central Europe
and the USA. Simultaneously, we follow the story
of Teté who was adopted as a girl from Chiapas by
a U.S. anthropologist and "re-adopted" later by
her godmother, a Cuban academic. Now in her
forties, Teté returns to Mexico in search of her
roots and begins a labyrinthine journey of
surprising discoveries. For more

The Itza
Maya in Petén, northern Guatemala, was the last
indigenous kingdom in the Americas to fall to
European conquest in March, 1697. Recent archival
studies have illuminated details of
socio-political intrigue between the territorially
expansionist Itza and one of their many
enemies, the Kowoj.
