Cine forum: Uprooting of Identities and Ways of Life: Displacement as a
Form of Desterritorialization of the Individual
“In the place where I used to live I didn't have to pay for public transportation neither for other
services. If I wanted fish, I fished it, if I wanted banana, I took it from the tree, a tomatoe? I grew
it.”
Prosentation of the documentary: Un país errante (A Wandering Country)
Colombia, 2013. 52’
Production: Universidad de los Andes and Enlalucha Films
Synopsis
What does it mean to leave behind the land in a beaten and usurped country like Colombia?
Migration not only results in an exodus of people, and tangible and symbolic goods. It also
produces desterritorialization between individuals and their environment, and shifting identities
and lifestyles.
Wandering Country deals in an intimate and detailed way with the story of four groups of people
affected by displacement and consequent removal: those who are at risk of being expelled, those
wandering without a fixed location, the returnees and those who have decided to start a new life
in a strange place.
Afros, Indians, mestizos and whites; all take place in this radiograph of the realities of
displacement.
Director: Luis Sánchez Ayala
Associate Professor in the History Department at Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia. Luis
D. Sánchez Ayala has a Ph.D. in Geography (Floridad State University), an M. A. in Geography (The
University of Akron), and a B. A. in Geography (University of Puerto Rico).
His academic interests include political and cultural issues, especially those related to human
mobility, migration, diaspora, transnationalism; identity and territory; edges, boundaries and
frontiers; globalization and development; electoral issues; cartography and geographic education.
He is currently a visiting professor and researcher at the University of Cuenca in Cuenca, Ecuador,
where he is researching on the geographical demarcation and conflict resolution within the canton
of Cuenca. The methodological proposal of Luis D. Sánchez Ayala seeks to establish a climate of
confidence in the region, as support to the planning and appropriate investment of the resources
in the territory. A Wandering Country is his first documentary.
Director: Juan Mejía Botero de Enlalucha Films.
Juan Mejia Botero ended in 2004 an M.A. in Latin American Studies at the University of Texas,
Austin. His thesis included the documentary Through These Eyes, a film that seeks to document a
participatory video project with young Afro-Colombian IDPs, which was made in collaboration with
the Association of Displaced Afro-Colombians (AFRODES).
He entered the Master program in Social Documentary at the University of California, Santa Cruz
and his Master's thesis is the documentary Banished, an intimate portrait of the tragedy of forced
displacement in Colombia.
He is co-founder of the production houses Enlalucha Filmd and Human Pictures (based in the U.S.),
with which he has directed and produced several other documentaries: The Shot (2010),
Independence for Whom? (2010), I am a Black Colombia Women and Slave from your Racism
(2011), Justice For My Sister (2012), The Struggle for the Land (2012).
Productor: Sebastián Mejía de Enlalucha Films
In the 7 years he has been working in the audiovisual field, Sebastián Mejia has been an
investigator, a producer, a director of cultural programs, of documentaries, of institutional videos,
of narrative films and commercials. He has been with Enlalucha Films the past 3 years and is
convinced it is the right place to make media something useful.
About Enlalucha Films

Screening of the film: Retratos en un mar de mentiras (Portraits in a sea of
lies)
Colombia, 2009. 90’
Screenplay, direction and editing: Carlos Gaviria
Production: Erwin Goggel
Synopsis
Marina, a quiet, mute and amnesiac girl, abused by her grandfather and most of the people
around her, lives in a slum in Bogota. After the death of his grandfather, his cousin Jairo, a cheerful
and chatty street photographer, proposes to her to recover the land from which they were
displaced years ago.
They travel from Bogota to the Caribbean coast of Colombia in an old Renault 4, defying enormous
trucks, rugged landscapes and military checkpoints. But Jairo is not afraid of anything and for him,
the plan is clear: to find the land title and regain what is theirs. During the trip, Marina begins to
remember. Upon returning to his village they find themselves in the middle of the conflict they
had fled when they were children.
Production notes
“Portraits in a sea of lies” is a portrait of Colombia, a country that has been in an armed conflict for
the past 60 years. Several hundred thousand people have been killed and more than 4 million
have been displaced. However, Colombians see themselves as one of the happiest people in the
world.
Press notes
“The main challenge was how to personalize the magnitude of the tragedy. As a filmmaker I was
interested in the phenomenon of displacement from the point of view of the victims, not the
numbers. We did a research focusing more on the wounds than the killings, and the consequences
of displacement in individuals, especially in children. We heard many testimonies that were really
heartbreaking.
There is in Colombia a very sophisticated black propaganda campaign to discredit victims of
displacement, usually portraying them as alleged accomplices of an armed group. This has made
the average Colombian react with indifference to their tragedy”*

Cine forum: The Right of Civilian Population to Declare its Territory as a
Neutral Zone during an Armed Conflict: The Case of the Peace Community
in San José de Apartadó
“We have been clear. We have said, everywhere, we don’t agree to coexist with any armed
groups. No matter they call themselves guerrilla, police, National army or paramilitaries”
Film proyection of the movieal: Hasta la última piedra (Until the last Stone)
Suiza, 2006. 60’
Direction: Juan José Lozano
Productin: Earthling Productions
Synopsis
On Monday 21 of February 2005 eight persons (including four children) were slaughter in the
municipality of San José de Apartadó (Uraba Antioqueño) by a group of soldiers of the Colombian
army. ¿What was the reason? To be part of the community of peace of San José de Apartadó.
¿What was the answer of the government to the declarations made by the international
community? Neither condemnation nor rejection to the crime and the order to establish a policy
station in the urban part of the town. ¿How did the peasants react to the arrival of the public
force? They abandoned the town and established themselves in a state of the community to build
a new place to live.
The documentary by Juan José Lozano was made a few months after the massacre, and it
constitutes a testimony of the courageous act of the inhabitants of San José de Apartadó to
exercise, as a civilian population in the middle of an armed conflict, the right to declare themselves
a neutral zone. A right recognized by the Geneva Convention, which was violated by the
Colombian government. A rights that became for more than seventy families in a daily struggle,
without guns, to live in peace in their own land, for that reason they rather change their home
than become IDPs.
Production notes
In the mid-90s, the right-wing paramilitary groups and the national army came to dispute the
control of the region to the guerrilla group FARC. To resist the effects of war and avoid being
displaced from their land, farmers from different villages of San José de Apartado declared their
neutrality in 1997, forming a Community of Peace.
Since the creation of the Peace Community, which now covers nearly 1,500 farmers, 165 of them
have been killed. Since the shooting of “Hasta la última piedra” three others were killed in June
2005.
Press notes
“I have been aware of the horrible things that happen every day in Colombia, by reading those
scene (in the chronic of the photographer Jesús Abad Colorado in the virtual newspaper El
Tiempo) in which the farmers found the decapitated bodies of their relatives, dismembered and
partially eaten by forest animals. I felt a huge desire to mourn, a deep frustration of finding the
level of barbarism that we have reached in the war in our country”. (Interview made by Ricardo Silva
Romero to Juan José Lozano for Arcadian magazine).

Struggle for the Restitution of Their Land
“A peasant without land is like a fish without water”
Projection and preview of the documentary: Algún día es mañana
(Someday will be tomorrow)
Documentary of the Chasquis Foundation
Direction: Ricardo Torres
Production: Juan Manuel Peña
Colombia, 2014. 70’
Synopsis
Drug trafficking, paramilitary groups and oil palm cultivation: peasant families of The Pavas, a
community located in the south of the department of Bolívar, have been displaced three times
during the last decade. Currently a huge agro oil palm project is being developed on land that they
had previously cultivated. On April 4, 2011 peasant families returned for the third time to The
Pavas. Since then, under constant pressure and threats, they have planted food and they have
undertaken a peaceful struggle to obtain the title to their land through the expropriation of the
companies that occupy them today.
Peasants of The Pavas often tell their experiences through songs, to keep alive their cultural
traditions and immortalize a story that no one could tell or write like them.
In November 2013, the 123 peasant families that make up the Association of Peasants of Buenos
Aires (ASOCAB) were awarded the National Peace Prize: “for fighting peacefully for years to obtain
the tenure of their lands in the hacienda The Pavas”.
About the Project “Les voy a contar la historia” (I am going to tell you the story)
The documentary “Someday will be tomorrow” is part of the project “I will tell the story” that
focuses all its efforts on strengthening the historical memory of The Pavas community and to
visualize their case to the world.
This project is a compilation of live sounds and an audiovisual collection of memories of this rural
community, sung and told by its own protagonists, showing the difficult social situation in the
region.
This visual art project shows from the inside the rich culture and the experiences of these families
who struggle for the recognition of the right to their land and their dignity. By creating ritual
spaces through art, the images and video transform the landscapes, and empower their roots in
order to allow their experiences to create new meanings and hope for a different future.
Since the beginning of the project “I will tell the story”, the Chasquis foundation has made the
following productions:
- I am going to sing the story: a CD collection of the sung stories of the community, published in
July 2013.
- A photographic Exhibition in Switzerland.
- An interactive exhibition in Bogota’s Book Fair in May 2014.
- The documentary film “Someday will be tomorrow” that will be previewed in IASFM 15.
- A music-documentary theater play (in preparation).
Since 2011, the Chasquis Foundation writes the blog “Return to the Pavas, the right of return with
peasant economy and food sovereignty”, a complementary tool for deepening and analyzing the
information on the case of Las Pavas: http://retornoalaspavas.wordpress.com.
About Chasquis Foundation
The Chasquis Foundation is an alternative communication-nonprofit organization that develops
integrated communication strategies and aesthetic products such as audiovisual and photographic
work.
Their work involves in a participatory way communities, social organizations and NGOs on human
rights and the environment, in order to make communication a fundamental tool for social
change.
Their professional ethics have focused on the understanding of complex socio-political situations
where minorities are involved. Their work focuses on everyday life, with the aim of documenting it
from a historical memory perspective and thus overcome stereotypes and sensationalism.
In 2012 the Women’s Corporation Ecofeminists Comunitar and the Peaceful Path of Regional
Women Cauca awarded to Chasquis Foundation a recognition as defenders of human rights, “for
their work on audiovisual communication and its accompanying processes with social
organizations and groups”.
The award was given during the presentation of the 2013 Report of human right conducted by the
network for life and human rights.
Other documentaries produced by Chasquis Foundation are: Las Pavas, la hora del retorno; El
Pacífico colombiano, entre la vida, el desarraigo y la resistencia and A l’ombre de la fièvre de l’or.
Director: Ricardo Torres
Ricardo Torres graduated from graphic design at the National University of Colombia in 1998. He
