Our Saturday morning began with a screening of the films of Miguel Hilari. Miguel is an acclaimed Indigenous filmmaker of Aymara and German descent, based in Bolivia. His practice is concerned with memory, migration and urbanization processes, and his films have been screened around the world. In 2025 we screened a one-hour program of his short films including After a fire (2023), Cerro Saturno (2022), Bocamina (2019), and others, followed by a conversation with Miguel around his work, which is embedded below:
