Compañía - ImagineNATIVE

Lending to genres of documentary, experimental, and visual poetry, Compañía stretches notions of Indigenous Cinema. A journey begins. The cadence sets the tones for introspection and reflection. Daily rhythms of a small mountain community fade in and out of time. A call to return, we witness the return of community members from the city to honour the dead. Along the path, dreams and memories transform themselves to non-linear wayfinding giving way to quiet contemplation and the cyclical nature of life. From the individual to the community, the land to urban spaces, and traditional to contemporary, Compañía is a port of call to witness the fullness of what has been carried and what has survived. Through the perspective of the community, Miguel Hilari deepened the understanding of perspectives of home and migration.
