Among today's cosmopolitan elite, the wool has attained the status of luxury item, enhanced by its manufacture at the hands of indigenous artisans and herders. From remote villages to the capital's fashion runways, the wool bridges Peru's rural, indigenous poor and the urban and global fashion world. This supply chain has become a site of development efforts to alleviate poverty and foster social inclusion within Peru’s high-fashion worlds.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Entretejido</i> is an observational-ethnographic film that weaves together the different sites and communities involved in making alpaca wool fashions. Varying representations of indigeneity emerge out of these encounters, which both challenge and reproduce historically-rooted racism.</div><div><br /></div><div>The film offers an immersive experience of the textures that constitute this supply chain from animal to runway. More than just a sensory experience, however, viewers are confronted with the ways in which everyday items such as clothing are entangled in the racial politics and contested histories of the nation.</div><div><br /></div><div><hr></div><div><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS &amp; AWARDS</b></div><div><div style=""><i>Golden Remi Award</i>, <i>Best Culture and Ethnicity Short Documentary,&nbsp;</i>Houston International Film Festival, 2017</div><div style=""><i>Honorable Mention –&nbsp;Best Graduate Student Film</i>, Society for Visual Anthropology Film Festival, 2016</div></div><div style=""><div>Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival, 2017</div><div>La Paz International Film Festival, La Paz, Bolivia, 2017</div><div><div>Ethnografilm Festival, Paris, 2017</div></div><div><br /></div></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/alvarez-astacio-patricia-c993all.aspx">Alvarez Astacio, Patricia</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
