チュンタ　The Chunta 監督 Genevieve Roudane/61分/2018年/メキシコ/スペイン語
メキシコ南東部チアパス州の田舎町で、毎年開催さ��る祭り。何千もの人々が、伝統的な女性キャラクター"チュンタ"の装いで練り歩く。文化や伝統は変わる。文化を融合させながら、自分たちが伝統に融け込んでいく。

[Las Chunta @LasChunta]

I learned that filmmaking is a community effort, and that it’s important for me that this film has a positive impact on the dancers and activists who shared their stories. I learned to build strong relationships first before filming.

[Las Chunta @LasChunta]

I was inspired by the work of community media centers in Chiapas, Mexico, and the work of local indigenous filmmakers to show a side of their state not portrayed in the mainstream media. Groups like Koman Ilel and Promedios have done important work in that region.

[Las Chunta @LasChunta]

@Outfest I’m a queer filmmaker and connected with The Chunta dancers while living in Mexico for 8 years, they became my queer fam away from home.
