Forget Roma! Antuca, a true feminist Indigenous working-class film 17th April, 5:00 p.m School III
Thu 17 Apr @ 5:00 pm
At StAIGS, we are honoured to welcome Latin American feminist filmmaker María Barea for a screening of a recently restored version of her modern classic Antuca (1992), a Peruvian film made thanks to the collaboration of Warmi Cine y Video, the pioneering women’s film collective and Iprofoth (Instituto de Promoción y Formación de Trabajadoras del Hogar), a non-profit dedicated to empowering migrant and Indigenous women domestic workers.
Antuca adopts a docu-drama format, focusing on the life of its titular character, portraying her journey from Cajamarca to Lima and her involvement in political activism amid employment shifts and identity challenges.
The restoration of Antuca was done between 2023 and 2024 in the Elias Querejeta Zine Eskola (EQZE) at San Sebastian within the framework of the project “Preservation of the films of María Barea and Warmi, First Women’s Collective in Peruvian Cinema” of which Dr Isabel Seguí, a lecturer at the Department of Film Studies and co-director of StAIGS, is a team member.
A wine reception will follow the event.
All welcome!
