Abstract

This study analyzes the documentary Na Misak (2018), by the indigenous director Luis Tróchez Tunubalá, from the Colombian Cauca. Situating it as a prismatic film, within the framework of indigenous cinema and reiterative colonialism in Abya Yala, its objective is to investigate the filmic fabric from the indigenous perspective on the construction of Indianity in contemporary urban context. The analysis developed from comparative method and collations of historical series, counterpoint, constellations and prismatic approach. From anthropological, historical, and film studies, an intersection between anti-colonial, essayistic and self-reflective cinematic writing and dimensions of Misak cosmology was noticed, in which critical thinking is condensed into the film’s system, historical experience, and bodily performance, artifacts that confront colonialism(s) with another history of contact.
