Paucartambo

"Paucartambo" is an observational documentary developed in the “Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen de Paucartambo”, through a Maqta dancer and the Qollas troupe, intense encounters are portrayed that reflect the depth between the Andean worldview and Peruvian syncretism. With an immersive narrative it tells the myth about the arrival of the Virgen del Carmen and how it transcended into a legacy that has been celebrated for four centuries - it is a collective catharsis that seeks to reconnect with local traditions and the essence of an ancestral legacy. 　　In the documentary Paucartambo, delving into Andean syncretism, folklore, and religion, I oversaw the comprehensive editing and visual storytelling of the 60-minute feature film. This involved crafting a framework that intertwined two narrative threads, capturing an authentic depiction of the cultural syncretism in the area.
