My Take
Ciro Guerra is exactly the sort of filmmaker I find myself rooting for. Born in Colombia's Cesar Department and trained at the National University of Colombia, he turned a regional, indigenous-rooted vision into work that reached the Academy Awards, with Embrace of the Serpent earning a Best Foreign Language Film nomination. What interests me is his refusal to flatten his stories into a Hollywood template; he films memory, landscape and identity through a distinctly Colombian gaze. Directors like Guerra remind me that the most arresting cinema often comes from the periphery, not the centre.
