DIÓGENES
Two siblings are raised in complete isolation by their father, Diógenes, in the Peruvian Andes. A painter of Tablas de Sarhua, intricately decorated boards from the Sarhua district of Peru, Diógenes descends into the nearby town to trade his art for supplies. One morning, unexpected events upend the children’s lives, forcing them to discover their culture firsthand. Director Leonardo Barbuy La Torre's feature debut is a meditative examination of a subset of Peruvian life in stunning black-and-white photography with immersive sound design punctuated by an arresting original score composed by Barbuy himself.
