Who are we?

MiradaNativa arises from an initiative by organisations and producers with a long history of opening spaces through film and communication from the perspective of indigenous peoples’ narratives, all converging in a common space.

Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Cine y Comunicación de los Pueblos Indígenas (Latin American Coordinator of Indigenous Peoples’ Film and Communication, CLACPI) promotes training, production, dissemination and audiovisual exhibition workshops in different territories as a means of appropriating the media and effectively exercising their own communication.

As a member of CLACPI, alterNativa Intercanvi amb Pobles Indígenes (alterNativa Mutual Exchange with Indigenous Peoples) promotes and manages the platform to disseminate, exhibit and promote indigenous cinema.

MiradaNativa is a meeting point for disseminating and promoting indigenous cinema, which provides a specific exhibition channel, produces and hosts festivals, and offers audiovisual resources for training and research.

About MiradaNativa

MiradaNativa arose out of the need for a specific indigenous film channel adapted to the new forms of digital and audiovisual communication, from the perspective of indigenous peoples’ narratives and visions.

MiradaNativa welcomes fiction, documentaries, reportage, animations, video clips and experimental formats, produced by organisations, production companies and movements with the direct participation of the communities and which promote indigenous authorship.

MiradaNativa aims to promote the identity of indigenous peoples, with works addressing their cultures and traditions, history and memory through their own narratives, and their rights, with works addressing organisational processes, rights violations and processes of defence and resistance.

MiradaNativa promotes decentralised access to indigenous peoples’ culture and communication in relation to their rights and intercultural relations.
