Eye of the Condor showcases indigenous directors and productions
from the internationally acclaimed indigenous media project in
Bolivia, coordinated by the Cinematography Education and Production
Center (CEFREC) and the Indigneous Audiovisual Coordinating Body
of Bolivia (CAIB). Works screened in this North American tour
have been selected jointly by Alma Boliviana and Comité Pro Bolivia
in Virginia; CEFREC and CAIB in Bolivia; and the Film and Video
Center of the National Museum of the American Indian in New York.
In Bolivia, the movement for indigenous video training, production,
and distribution began in 1996 with the founding of the Indigenous
National Plan for Audiovisual Communication. The movement's media
organizations, CEFREC and CAIB, offer extensive training and production
facilities. Nearly 100 works-documentaries, video postcards, and
fictions-have been produced in Native communities throughout Bolivia
and have won international recognition and film festival awards.
Eye of the Condor/Ojo del Condór is organized by
the NMAI Film and Video Center in cooperation with Alma Boliviana
and Comité Pro Bolivia. The tour has been made possible through
support from the Latino Initiatives Fund, administered by the
Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives.
