February 10 – 19, 2024
WHERE
Borikén, Puerto Rico
WHAT
Editing, organizing, laughing, remembering. For the past few months, Puerto Rican filmmaker Llaima Sanfiorenzo has led Ensayistas through an intensive and comprehensive film workshop where each participant embarks on a reflective journey to tell the story of their part in the collective work. Sanfiorenzo’s method, the Self Portrait Factory, focuses on reaffirming a participant’s strengths while building solidarity, trust, and collective thinking. Workshops were conducted virtually, and the editorial team consisting of Camila Marambio, Bárbara Saavedra, Karolin Tampere and Christy Gast met at Para La Naturaleza (PLN), where Camila has been artist in residence, to conceptualize and edit a final film featuring many voices.
