🌿 Bunshandunna Film Synopsis:
A meditative short documentary that invites viewers into the heart of an Indigenous cosmovision—where caring for elders becomes a sacred act of preserving ancient knowledge.
Set in a ceremonial house in the Cundiboyacense region—ancestral territory of the Muisca—Bunshandunna follows the Kogi-Wiwa community as they reflect on elder care as a form of cultural continuity and world-making. Reclaimed through over thirty years of intercultural community building, the land and its people become living vessels of memory, resistance, and renewal. Guided by the presence and wisdom of elders from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the film is a gentle but powerful invitation to listen, feel, and remember.

The facilitators:
Lauriem:
Lauriem (they/ them) is a voice medicine worker, composer and decolonial organiser based across Martinique and London. Initially a singer-songwriter, they discovered along their path the expanding potential of their voice as a tool for emotional self-regulation, communing with spirit, clearing somatic blockages and deep healing across realms and timelines. They are now actively working on a series of singing circles where we practice community healing and unlock our potential for sounding the truth and beauty of collective liberation. They are overjoyed to share with you their third EP this spring ‘Sound Capsule for Homecoming’, a prayer for all those feeling called to return—back home, back to the land, to origin, to self, to Source, to One.
Munay:
They are an emerging film maker and healer from Colombia. Being this their first production, they hoped to bring together the voices of community organizers from the Cundiboyancense region (Their ancestral homeland), to share some of the history of the land, history and cultural revitalization having at the moment. They hope this film inspires and grounds some of the legacy of Climate activism that indigenous elders lead and embody, as well as spark conversation about the interconnectedness of ancestral knowledge. Finally, They hope to share some of the essence of the types of relationships which made this type of community organizing possible.
