Every film begins with a first scene.
On August 8th, you become part of Don Carlos de Cocora—a hybrid art feature film where real people, living traditions, and genuine encounters become cinema.
Throughout the evening, guests, artists, neighbors, Indigenous representatives, musicians, and filmmakers form a living portrait of community.
The story unfolds naturally around them. Shared food, music, rituals, and friendships become the heart and soul of this living artwork.
What Is Don Carlos de Cocora?
A hybrid art feature film that combines several artistic forms — real people, real gatherings, and a designed emotional arc, unfolding together.
A Documentary
Real people appear as themselves; real gatherings occur, and many events unfold without scripts.
A Narrative Feature Film
It follows an intentional structure, recurring characters, a thematic journey, and a designed emotional arc.
A Participatory Artwork
Family members and friends become active contributors to the creation of the work.
A Philosophical Film
Its primary subject is human relationships, and what it means to share a few decades together somewhere within eternity.
A Social Sculpture
Collective actions become artistic expression, shaped by everyone at the table.
An Ethnographic Work
It engages living traditions, foodways, music, adventure, travel, ritual, and cultural exchange.
Dress Extravagantly
Wear the most profound and colorful version of yourself. This is a celebration of life, culture, and creativity.
