The Memory of Butterflies
La memoria de las mariposas / Tatiana Fuentes Sadowski / Peru, Portugal / 77′ / 2025 – Memorimage Festival Internacional de Cinema de Reus
From the shadows of the rubber boom, the forgotten stories of Omarino and Aredomi are recovered in a sensory journey that interweaves the filmmaker’s personal history with Amazonian archives from the early 1900s. The film is a cinematic ritual that explores the boundaries between research and speculation, while reflecting on power, memory, reparations, and the profound dialogue between the living and the dead.
