El Ángel Radiante
1978 · 10 min
This is one of four short films taken from the censored movie Chiaraqe, ritual battle (1975). In seven minutes, it explains in a didactic and expository tone what the confrontation between two groups of communities in the Cusco highlands consists of. Dances, men on horses, flying stones, warakas and liwis alive, a lizard, a dead man. The short film is a testimony to the ritual event, but it is also a testimony to the filmmakers' view of the populations of the Andes 50 years ago.
