In the small town of Ayacucho, a horror film is being made. But this is a distinctly Peruvian breed of horror, inspired by Andean myths and legends from pre-Columbian times. Dietrich’s behind-the-scenes documentary affectionately pays testament to the craft of filmmaking, fuelled by friendship and passion, whilst drawing our attention to the capacity of horror to explore contemporary social issues, and to articulate memories of a community’s violent pasts.
Director Martha-Cecilia Dietrich will attend this screening and take part in a Q&A.
Horror in the Andes screens as a double bill with Zahida.
