Movie + Discussion

La Curación examines multi-situated narratives about health and healing

lush volcanic landscapes of the Northern Andes, this experimental 
documentary reveals deeply layered understandings of the body as a 
porous and permeable subject. An epileptic revolutionary, a pair of 
fire-breathing shamans, and a poet physician discuss embodiment through 
the prism of poetry and folk history.Direction: Yoni Goldstein, Meredith 
Zielke; Production: The Quito Film Collective – Yoni Goldstein, Meredith 
Zielke, Sergio Miguel Huarcaya, Anica Madeo, Kyle Fish, Dana Kuhn,
