Documentary from the inside: two Afro-Mexican documentary filmmakers

Abstract

This interview seeks to present the work of two young filmmakers from the Costa Chica (Mexico) region: Monica Morales and Clemen Villamizar, delving into their documentaries Tita, tejedora de raíces (2018) and El Quizá (in conclusion process). This conversation took place within the framework of the I Festival Artístico Audiovisual Afrodescendencias, organized by the Laboratorio Audiovisual [Audiovisual Laboratory] of the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social in May 2021, with the intention of bringing us closer to their lives, motivations, creative processes and experiences that emerged during production, assembly and screening of the movies.
