El próximo 21 de enero comienza el quinto Festival internacional de cine y artes indígenas en Wallmapu que se desarrollará en la ciudad de Temuco y localidades cercanas. En esta ocasión, son 49 las películas que hacen parte de la selección oficial, las que representan las voces de pueblos de todo el orbe.
El tema central que propone el festival para poner en diálogo en territorio ancestral mapuche son las diversidades sexo-afectivas o diversidades sexuales ancestrales. Por esto, la mirada plural de los pueblos originarios se hace presente para abordar las experiencias y reflexiones sobre vivir sexualidades y expresiones sexo afectivas no hegemónicas desde la mirada indígena.
Camino al quinto Ficwallmapu y en alianza con el Kolectivo mapuche Rangiñtulewfü, Ficwallmapu presenta Leitis in Waiting (Dean Hamer y Joe Wilson), una de las cinco películas que abordan las diversidades sexo-afectivas desde los pueblos originarios y comunidades afro. La película presenta a una comunidad de mujeres transgéneros que habitan la isla de Tonga y que son conocides como “Leitis”, elles denuncian cómo en la actualidad están sufriendo a propósito de una escalada de fundamentalismo desde sectores religiosos, particularmente la Iglesia Evangélica, y cómo hacen frente a estas violencias.
