Bolivia: Igniting Reel Change - Photo Gallery

photographs by James Stairs and Delphine Denoiseux

 

On behalf of Oxfam-Quebec, documentary filmmaker Frédéric Julien and his partner Delphine Denoiseux are sent to Bolivia to help shed light on some of the major issues facing indigenous communities. The duo team up with Franklin Gutiérrez Zarate, a Bolivian teacher and documentary producer with the non-governmental organization Centro de Formación y Realización Cinematográfica (Centre for Cinema and Film Making). The aim of their project is to help young aboriginal Bolivians construct four short films, each of which exposes a current social issue and attempt to re-establish their identity. The filmmakers act as mentors to the native Bolivians, providing them with the skills necessary to develop local and national media organizations, which can play a major role in addressing the traditional inequality faced by Bolivia's aboriginal population.
