Me dicen Yovo

While working as a photographer in Benin, West Africa, a two-week trip will turn into a two months personal journey. Me dicen Yovo (I'm a Yovo) is a visual diary of that experience. A Peruvian traveller is an odd presence in Benin whose ethnic a cultural identities are constantly creating unique situations, and provoking original thoughts on what it means to be from the "third world".

Alguna tristeza

Juan Alejandro Ramírez

A tapestry of seemingly unconnected vignettes beginning with an extraordinary event at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, where the victory of the Peruvian football team was declared void. The film mixes the personal with the political and the historical, going from a portrait of an optimistic taxi driver to that of three waiters of a train to that of an alienated outsider living in the Amazonian forest region.
