Aribada
Simon*e Jaikiriuma Paetau, Natalia Escobar
In the middle of a Colombian coffee-growing region, Aribada, the resurrected monster, meets Las Traviesas, a group of indigenous transwomen from the Emberá tribes. The magical and the performative, fiction and documentary blur together in this experimental film, which sees Aribada join the trans futurist community at the end.
Guest: Natalia Escobar
