SUMMARY:Fait Vivir
DESCRIPTION:In a lost town in the tropics\, a ruler banned dances\, songs and celebrations. This is how Makondo starts\, a performance created by the GKO Orchestra\, a band of musicians\, dancers and circus actors from different parts of the world. Fait vivir recounts\, through Manuk\, a five-year-old boy\, the legend of this ingenious and unusual group. His imaginative and poetic gaze intertwines the ‘andariego’ record of these artists through different Colombian towns and cities with the “staging” of their show. Likewise\, the fantasy of our narrator allows us to get to know the daily life of its creators and the deep dream that feeds this project that invites freedom and movement.\nScreening followed by a Q&A with director Oscar Ruiz Navia. \nTICKETS:

SUMMARY:The Condor Daughter
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Álvaro Olmos Torrico\nBolivia\, 2025 \nA source of pride for Bolivian cinema\, The Condor Daughter has not only garnered more than 25 international awards\, but in Bolivian cinemas the film became the most watched national film in the last decade\, demonstrating that the local public consumes its own cinema with pride and a genuine connection. \nClara is a young Quechua midwife who sings to soothe the pain of pregnant women. Her mother\, Ana\, a veteran midwife\, sees this gift as a miracle from the gods. Influenced by a friend\, and after a falling out with her mother\, the young woman decides to leave for the city. The community suffers the mysterious death of animals and crops\, and the villagers attribute this punishment to Clara’s departure. Her mother decides to travel to the city and embark on a search to bring her back. \n \n

SUMMARY:Amor(es) ciego
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented with the Vancouver Queer Film Festival.  \nCurated by Kathleen Mullen and Robert Rios \nAmor (es) ciego explores with angst and humour the many ways love shapes\, complicates\, and transforms our lives. Across these films\, love appears as desire\, discovery\, and devotion. It can illuminate our deepest truths while blinding us to our faults\, becoming both a blessing and a risk. \nThis year’s selection reflects the evolving landscape of queer Latin American storytelling\, where love is no longer confined to struggle alone\, but expands into joy\, vulnerability\, and possibility. Notably\, for the first time\, the program includes three films made by Latine filmmakers in the United States\, highlighting how migration and new cultural contexts can create space for different expressions of queer affection and belonging. \nTogether\, these stories invite us to embrace romantic love in all its beautiful contradictions. \nRead more about the films in the program here! \nTICKETS: \nTickets on sale now through the Vancouver Queer Film Festival website. For VLAFF passholders\, please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to screening time to claim a pass ticket from the VQFF Box Office table at the Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas (88 West Pender\, 3rd Floor\, Vancouver). Seating is limited\, subject to capacity.
