Director Statement
My film Talamanca provides an observative insight into the life of Bribri indigenous people, on the ways in which indigenous lifeworlds are made present across the cordillera of Talamanca, showing therefore what does it mean to conserve the environment as way of living rather than expert practice. Talamanca is a film about being present in the forest, about the sensorially specific ways of dwelling a more than human world. In this regard the film Talamanca expresses the liveliness of an entire cosmos made by multiple vitalities and materialities. This is aimed at cultivating new form of presence and attention to behave more responsibly in the world we inhabit together with other living beings.
