Selection criteria
The audiovisual productions that are nominated for FicWallmapu must respect the views and voices of the different communities of Original Peoples, Afro and/or Afro-descendants that participate behind and/or in front of the camera. The festival will favor the selection of films that contribute to protest processes and in tune with the values and worldviews of native peoples, indigenous nationalities and first nations, moving away from those achievements that promote cultural appropriation, stereotypes, discrimination, prejudice, machismo, direct propaganda of political parties, among other aspects that are detrimental or detrimental to the Native peoples.
In the focus theme of the 8th edition, FicWallmapu places the universes of indigenous, Afro and/or Afro-descendant youth at the center of the dialogue, highlighting the value of generational continuity that their identities carry in contemporary contexts, making use of technologies to make visible, communicate and propose views of ancestral peoples. Youths who, aware of the historical invisibility, work from different areas to continue building their own memories and heal the colonial wound, becoming part of the linguistic revitalization, the defense of the territory, the knowledge of indigenous health, the development of their own narratives, among many others that come together in the philosophy of küme mongen/good living. The invitation is to share these views, promoting transgenerational dialogues from the Mapuche territory together with other peoples and nationalities.
The criteria for films to be part of the festival are:
That promotes the production of indigenous and/or Afro-descendant authorship, as well as the participation of indigenous and/or Afro-descendant people in various roles in production.
That transmits the own views and proposals of indigenous and Afro-descendant youth and promotes intergenerational dialogue.
That it contributes to local realization in the Mapuche Territory, Wallmapu on both sides of the mountain range: Puelmapu and Ngülumapu.
That promotes the rights of Indigenous and/or Afro-descendant women, childhood, youth, the elderly, sexual and affective diversities.
That they denounce the violation of the rights, persecution and genocide suffered by the Original and/or Afro-descendant Peoples and the current colonial violence that we face.
That promotes the right to communication, creativity, self-representation, search and development of aesthetic and narrative resources of the Original and/or Afro-descendant Peoples.
