Horror in the Andes. Audio-visual storytelling and oral histories in an emerging film industry.
Martha-Cecilia Dietrich PhD
In my most recent research and documentary film project „Horror in the Andes“ we accompany a group of Peruvian horror filmmakers during the production of their most recent film „La maldición del Inca" (The curse of the Inca) produced by Ccorafilms. Examining the ways in which the filmmakers have resorted to fiction as to process, articulate, and educate fellow Peruvians about oral histories and the most recent experiences of violence during the internal armed conflict, this project looks at contemporary cultural practices of remembering the past and imagining the future through the local film industry.
