A project by Ollin Tlahtoalli: Centro de Lenguas y Cultura Mexicana a.c.
Santo Tomás Jalieza, Oaxaca.
Oaxaca, Mexico
In this workshop we provide young Oaxacan students the theoretical and practical tools to create their own films. Students engage in dialogues around community and identity, explore those cultural and personal elements that define them as members of an indigenous community.
Students make their story boards, learn basic film language and start capturing images of community members, family and places they belong to. In the process, students have the opportunity to share their personal stories and those of the community. This group of teenagers will eventually produce short videos to tell their community and the world about who they are and about those elements that define them as young members of an indigenous community. These videos are Identity Texts (Cummins, 2007) which will help us understand their lives and the complexities that surround indigenous communities in Mexico.
