Education

We seek, through the communicative processes and products, to intervene, transform and produce documentary projects that reflect and influence on our realities, through self-representation. We understand education as a process of knowledge assimilation from different languages and disciplines, having as a main tool the various documentary manifestations, genres and its implications. We believe in a methodology based on subjectivity and personal points of view to generate processes and documentary products.

·el otro documental - another kind of documentary (2007)

El Otro Documental (EOD) - Another kind of Documentary, initiated on 2007, it is an alternative documentary learning space aimed at the prospect to re-think and transform
all documentary possibilities. It was the first intensive workshop for documentary production nationwide and it was the need for such preparation and growth space, which could provide theoretical and technical tools, what originated its creation. During the EOD, what we prioritize is the documentalist motivation and its relation with the subject to develop. We work with an alternative approaching method towards the subject and the reality that surrounds it.

As today, twelve years later after EOD was funded, it is one of the most highlighted references of documentary production under an alternative methodology, theoretically constructed and confirmed throughout the years, during our many different projects. Apart from the Lima editions, EOD has also been taken place in Colima-Mexico (2014, 2015 and 2018), Cochabamba-Bolivia (2017) and it is looking forward to expand and to share the experience with several communities and territories.
