Rutas Etéreas is a travelling audiovisual film festival founded in 2022. It promotes cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue with a special focus on voices from the Global South - especially from Abya Yala and Colombia. By presenting works by young female artists, the festival aims to visualise diverse realities, stimulate cultural exchange and build bridges between different communities.
The festival sees itself as a space for encounters and reflection in which cinema becomes a tool for challenging dominant narratives and imagining fairer futures.
For the first screening in Leipzig, Rutas Etéreas 2025, curated by Daupará & Simón Jaramillo Vallejo, presents four impressive short films by indigenous filmmakers from Colombia - including the Wayúu and Wiwa - that deal with topics such as coal mining, memory and territory.
The programme is divided into two blocks, with a short break in between.
Entry is on a donation basis - no one will be excluded due to lack of funds.
All donations received will go directly to the filmmakers involved in Colombia.

Context

About Daupará: Daupará is a platform for exhibition and cultural exchange created with the aim of promoting the recognition and strengthening of indigenous peoples' own forms of communication in Colombia. The "Muestra" is made possible by numerous indigenous collectives and film-makers who are constantly helping to shape and renew it - and thus strengthen communicative and cultural networks and alliances at national and international level.
