Anaconda comprende una propuesta pionera en su género porque promueve la defensa y difusión amplia de derechos, la organización comunitaria, el derecho a la comunicación y la producción audiovisual y cinematográfica propia, además de desarrollar un fomento directo, además de acentuar el protagonismo comunitario y de Jurados Locales en la definición de las obras ganadoras.
En nueve versiones anteriores del Premio Anaconda (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2020) participaron cerca de 1600 realizaciones de y sobre los pueblos indígenas y afrodescendientes, provenientes de 20 países.
Se menciona que la versión 8va tuvo como sede principal a Paraguay entre 2017 y 2018. Por su parte las actividades de lanzamiento de la 9na versión tuvieron lugar en julio de 2019 en Cuba, en coordinación con el Instituto Cubano de Radio y Televisión y la Fundación del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano con sede en La Habana. Por diversos motivos, incluyendo la pandemia, la premiación se desarrolló en La Paz, Bolivia en diciembre de 2021.
Lo más distintivo del Premio Anaconda es su carácter de rotación itinerante y su principio participativo comunitario dado que una actividad principal es la Muestra Internacional Comunitaria en la que Jurados Locales elegidos por cada comunidad, visionan las obras junto a la comunidad y reflexionan sobre las realidades reflejadas en estas obras, definen las obras ganadoras principales de este Premio y elaboran su Acta de Jurado. En cada territorio o país sede se aprovecha este evento de resonancia internacional para fortalecer las capacidades locales indígenas y afro descendientes en comunicación, de dialogo y establecimiento de alianzas y uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación y redes sociales.
¿Por qué ANACONDA en el chaco argentino?
La situación de los pueblos indígenas en Argentina revela un preocupante retroceso, marcado por la falta de desarrollo de políticas y leyes dirigidas a la protección efectiva de sus derechos, así como por la adopción de medidas que han violado gravemente esos derechos, particularmente el derecho a la tierra y el territorio, el derecho a la consulta, a la participación y a la organización, el acceso a la justicia y el derecho a la identidad cultural y a la educación.
