before continuing I want to clarify that
makes a zinc producer and making a
analogy in the market of the
building
the directors and directors are the
architects they design the buildings
which in this case are the movies with
his artistic qualities his vision
of the world or its aesthetics print it
for the completion of the work and
build those be they beautiful jassam
social housing but in the
vision of them is to all
creative aspects
we the producers are the
builders or builders
we first finance the movies that
we develop the funded projects
the movies we hire the
people we take the day to day from
the construction
we assume legal financial risks
civilians and we take care that the
buildings do not fall is to say that the
movies are good for you to take
nothing to happy term to be finished and
we put them on the market the
we market so many forms of
produce there as producers and
will direct and as directors but
Obviously they will tell you the
our experience let’s talk now the
hug the snake to tell you a
little about the movie is the story
of the friendship of each macate a shaman
amazonian last survivor of the
that today won with two scouts teo and
evans who with 40 years of difference
they come to your life looking for the llacuna a
sacred plant that will help us to dream
being caramacate an older adult and without
memory is from the arrival of
evans who begins to remember teo who
he arrived dying 40 years earlier and with
who undertook the same trip the same
travel along the river in search of
plant and it’s through just this
travel by the river that caramacate
remembered and join the stories
showing the viewer his vision
of the world
life in the form of flowing river that
it’s timeless that together with evans and atheist in
the spirit of a single apprentice who
goes and returns to who should
transmit the knowledge of your
people their science their song before
disappear a spirit that also
will allow caracara to compensate their
mistakes and faults of the past and find
his path
the reasons why ciro war on
director of this film who also
is my partner and my husband created this
history are public access but
I’m here to tell you about one thing
most intimate of those things that happen
of doors inside
in as much in the respective thing to the creation
obviously that the media does not
register and it’s not obvious that I’m here
to tell you about the creation process
a process that needed duality
to talk about the meeting of the worlds
to address a non-western vision
in the form of Western story a
spiritual film that I should have
make digestible and accessible to the
public was a dialectical exercise
Integrated female and male
yin and yang that I need like the life of
two absolutely different cells and
complementary men and women
director and producer to a vision
dreamer and a pragmatic to get
to life
siro at the beginning of this writing had
as a reference the terror diaries and
by richard evans schultes both
stories were repeated with certain
variation and the movie at this point
it does not differ much from those of a
explorers adventure movie
they go to the jungle in search of a
plant with his indigenous friend
as he went deeper and he went
discovering the amazonic myth wanted
tell the let’s say that with those
referents but discarded it from the start
because he takes me amazonian is very
distant for us and the referents
spirituals completely unknown to
us for this western culture
who has based their culture on their religion
in the Greco-Roman myth at that time
Well, I have to admit that I do not
I knew nothing about these stories
explorers had not read the
newspapers and I did not know the myths
Amazonian but experienced in life
personal situation very similar in
the one that felt that it reflects what
what happens to these characters who
what happens to these characters of the
film and in particular to the theory
caramacate my best friend to my sister
of the soul with whom I did not need
share space city or everyday life
with whom I was connected on a level
more spiritual than physical as a soul
twin
the evicted from a brain cancer
just when giving birth to a beautiful I lived
that cancer was fulminating and the
It took time in eight months during the
that we try and he ‘s talking about his
family to her friends she obviously
all remedies and therapies
alternatives and possible cures this that you
happens to her it made me think of
caramacate and in teo that was also
evicted that he had a wife and a few
little children in germany in the
imminence of the mom of death and in
the fragility of life in the search
to perpetuate the life of a loved one
It made me think of my little son who
I was also newborn in the
ability to transcend the
stories and art made me think of
caramacate the pain that could
experiment and in the guilt that I could
have to know that he had left to die
your friend to your student to that person if the
that in China I know why
understand what dreams shared a
guilt that would give him pain to lose the
memory and he could only recover 40
years later in repairing that damage with
the meeting with evans that would be the
same spirit in one body
at this point remember to have told you
been that we need the story to be
will count from the point of view of
caramacate and the way to do it was to
through the flashback
he thought the movie could be
count linearly and inclusive
after filming the movie for me
the fact that it will be counted in parallel
towards understanding the stories
from the point of view of caramacate and
that we were remembering with him in this
trip with the flow of the river we were
recovering his memory which for me
I was a female character with whom I
He felt more greater identification
empathy which like me or
we would be explosive had a
great load would be intuitive will have a
Great oil load of loneliness pain
of silence with which like me
I could mix everything past with present
alive as dead dreams with
realities sensitivity with clumsy
to him it would be contradictory would
emotional would be irrational and it would be
able to love and forget with the same
intensity but this may be obvious
well before when we were doing
it was not so much
and it was not so much because I was not
director and I was not a screenwriter I was
producer my most technical career and
that led me to think about a reality
that is not isolated because the truth is that
women in the cinema have a voice
which is still very weak
let’s think for a moment about the wars
of the 20th century the first war to the
Second War Cold War War
of the Gulf of the Balkans
of all these wars of the most
we know since the second world war
in which seven million died
Jews but we do not know that the second
World war died almost 100
millions of people and countries that
more dead put were russia china
and the allies then in the take over by
part of the linden trees and the Germans then
in the resumption by the allies
but the story of the second war in
the history of the holocaust has been
counted in one and a thousand ways in the
cinema is not a secret that the great
hollywood studios
the great directors great products
most of the members of the
academy are men and they are Jewish
therefore his voice and his story has been
told and is part of our history and
of our collective imagination
what would happen if these members of the
academies and the studios were Russian
or were Chinese
now let’s go back to women in the cinema
in europe two out of ten movies
they are directed by women in hollywood and
in Colombia the rate is one in ten
and these figures are very important and
we understand that the cinema is or is not the
cultural product with the highest penetration
in the market does however this
situation is not isolated is not strange
if you do not think that 50 years ago
we could 50 years ago we could not
even vote that 50 years ago it
revolutionized the world with the appearance
of the contraceptive pill and we can
decide on procreation ie
I feel that today they are asking us
gender quotas and an equality 50-50
without thinking that today we are still treated
different in school in society and
in the family
I remember my battles and frustrations
17 years old when in my house that
we were ten brothers mostly
women but my location as a daughter
minor leaves me below my three
brothers men whose sexuality could
Live openly with your girlfriends
turn while I was restricted
that possibility always with a load
good behavior moral
I remember thinking from that moment because
they had to treat us differently then
years later studying film and
TV
I remember the qualification in a job
end of a theoretical subject dictated
by an eminence of the professor
recognized also for his misogyny and
because of his bad character
this teacher had retained my work
final and I would only hand it
together with a partial done in class
with the following note
I never thought that someone like you
I could write this text but
after seeing his final partial
done in class
I understand that this work is not a
plagiarism
I never understood how I could have that
preconceived from me as his class in his
class there were no interventions were
monologues two hours and my voice together
with that of my classmates
I was not heard
this professor then confessed to me that he has
changed their prejudices not only for me
performance but for the performance of
all my classmates
who were brilliant women
We were a promotion of 20 students
half of women
I wonder today where are those
bright women because name already in
the same proportion as their peers
men in the labor field when
several of them included been ansón
Film directors are directors of
television are video artists are
animators where are they where
is your voice with if we’ve done it all
a career together as a director and
producer for 15 years since
15 years ago of us
producers are little talked about but
they are eventually mentioned when
the Oscar nomination came out
appeared in a circulation newspaper
national a caricature that was adam and
eva in the garden of Eden being
tempted by the serpent with the legend
that said ciro guerra y sra
my son who is 12 years old and he told me
Mommy, what is that?
Who is that lady and I told her
is that to wives to women who
we are wife we are told that we are the
Woman’s wife and he laughed and
he told me as well as you Serbian and I
He said that is a bit and tooth is not a
bit unfair and I who thought about it and
I have always been bothered by reflection
from his clean look and I understood
that besides being a woman and producer
being a wife I would not even have
right to be called by my name and
with my position then with my profession
they are useful but real things bothers me
that in professional contexts
I am not presented as cristina
Galician producer the hug of the
producer snake such movies
but as the wife the lady of ciro
war the director and at that time
happened to be the producer that has done
possible the movie the movies more
bigger risky beauties of
our national cinematography with a
number of international awards with
an Oscar nomination and I become
by magic in an invisible being in
a lady of company
but let’s go back to the movies and
let’s think now about the current crisis
creative hollywood an industry that
it stopped producing memorable stories
with original characters that are from
every common place and about every time
Larger films that risk
little looking for known successes in the
remake in the saga of superheroes
movies that are definitely for
teenage minds stopped doing
great classic movies for
adults to say to the wins the time
golden hollywood era where you
they developed filmmakers like jon fortt
scorsese Treasury Ford Coppola billy wilder
and so many others
today the turn is for fast and furious
the avengers superman spider man batman
in colombia the common place is the
comedy
and there is a current question about where
are the women in the movies the
female roles and their voices as
directors these films
today minority are also cataloged
as niche cinema is to say for audiences
limited are feared the industry of
entertainment because they do less
money from the twenty actors better
paid for hollywood
the first nine are men in
colombia the only box office woman is
the fat fabiola thinking about these
conditions and in the creative crisis already
the time in the success of our movie
that has a female participation
so strong and I do not just talk about the
narration but of the production itself
so to make it viable possible in that
extreme difficulty and in the unpredictable
wild capricious amazonian jungle with
the resources absolutely limited in
the one that intuited that only having
permission and taking and filling and assembling a
team full of warriors with the
clean heart and with the spirit of
listening and learning
contrary to the masculine spirit
traditionally conqueror and that in
all kinds of industries come to impose
your conditions in that process
we were aware that only the
power of love respect of the
intuition to have a humble spirit
able to identify and understand the
silence and the accumulated pain for years
could you let us tell this story
for me it is obvious that today
conditions for intervention like
Women are not optimal and fair that the
world is still closed
I, besides being a business manager
production manager having a
more public recognition I have to
look for spaces to reflect
write publish my point of view for
see to be heard
to see if he won me the right to be
called by my name and be dignified
with the recognition of my profession and
in this world led by politicians
executive priests chief leaders of
opinion including directors and criticism
film ladies women is not easy
make us listen but it’s important
keep trying
one and a thousand times clarify pose without
fear our views
move from the private stage to the public
because we have strength by nature
the resilience capacity
we can not leave, we are not going to leave
overcome we can bear more weight of
what can we load
we have a strong intuitive ability
what is worked is the capacity of
undertake projects and assemble teams
successful
today more than ever the world needs
this vision a vision of hope
a vision of being inclusive of
think about the early childhood of sheltering
to our children to our
workers think about the investment
of human capital of the welfare of the
society a female vision that we
embrace that includes us to question us
and that makes us think about the
transcendence as it has done
movie
and you gentlemen men I want
tell them just like Caramacate asks
to evans
I want to tell them to be quiet for a moment and
listen if the whites do not learn this
world is going to end up inviting us to
dialogue
ask include we are a little
timid insecure
we are a little whiny and emotional
also education and our
nature has made us like that but
we have great contributions to make from
our vision
Proof of it is this beautiful movie
and experience of the snake’s embrace
