ARIBADA

Directed by Simon(e) Jaikiriuma Paetau & Natalia Escobar <<shortfilm>> (director, producer, editor), 2022, 30 min.

ARIBADA

In the middle of the Colombian coffee region, Aribada, the resurrected monster, meets Las Traviesas, a group of indigenous transwomen from the Embera people. The magical, the dreamlike and the performative coexist in their unique world - an aesthetic and spiritual universe in which documentary and fiction merge into a transcultural narrative. Enchanted by the beauty and power of their jais (spirits), Aribada decides to join Las Traviesas in creating their own trans*futurist community.
