University of Stirling
Join us for a series of film screenings of contemporary Indigenous film from Latin America, including a Q&A with the Kichwa-Zapotec filmmaker Frida Muenala (online) and the Mixtec screenwriter Armando Bautista García (in person) on 25 March 2026 starting at 16.00 (and lasting approximately 2 hours) in the Pathfoot Lecture Theatre, University of Stirling.
This is a rare opportunity to see some of the recent production of Latin American Indigenous filmmakers and reflect on the power of fiction in their work to critically engage with contemporary issues affecting the rights, languages and cultures of their peoples and communities.
The event is hosted by Dr Peter Baker (University of Stirling) as part of the AHRC-funded project “A contracorriente” (“Against the Grain”). The screening will include two short films by director Frida Muenala, Warmi Luna, Gunaa Sol (2015) and Uyana (2021), as well as the science fiction film Itu Ninu (2023) by the Mixtec director Itandehui Jansen and screenwriter Armando Bautista García. The films will be subtitled into English, and the Q&A will be facilitated with bilateral interpretation by languages students from the University of Dundee.
The event is open to the public and free for all, though please note that the films contain some adult themes and so may not be suited to some younger audiences.
