La Curación (The Healing)

La Curación is an experimental ethnographic film sited in the volatile beauty of Ecuador’s volcanic capital, Quito, a nearby cluster of healing villages, and a fisherman’s wharf near the Colombian border. Told through a series of musings and personal narratives (an epileptic revolutionary, a fire-breathing shaman, a poet-physician, a campesino visionary), the film reveals deeply layered understandings of health, healing, and the body as a porous membrane.

The Quito Film Collective connects students and scholars with global health researchers, medical students, and documentary makers from the Americas. Production was completed at the University of Michigan and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
