MARÍA ROJAS & ANDRÉS JURADO
La Vulcanizadora is a film production and creation laboratory founded in 2017 by filmmakers, artists, and producers, María Rojas Arias and Andrés Jurado. Consolidated as a company in 2019. La Vulcanizadora is devoted to experimental creative projects and to explore various models of production and collaboration to make films, in a commitment to cooperate with processes of historical memory and to give life to narratives that go against the grain of the official stories or canonized by cultural circuits and by official institutions. We propose an intense dialogue between disciplines supported by a practice articulated with the artist's craft and experimentation with film and hybrid formats. We incorporate methods from performance and theater and contemporary art, generating critical approaches to ethnographic devices and visual anthropology. We embrace archival work and audiovisual counter-archive, where the cinematic is at the base of our operations. We are interested in the stories about radical otherness, the efforts to understand the processes of colonization and decolonization, examining their representations very closely transgenerationally.
We have produced projects such as El Renacer del Carare by Andrés Jurado, winner of the Special Mention of the Flash competition premiered at the FIDMarseille 2020 (Marseille Festival of Documentary Film), The short film Fu, winner of the jury award for the best experimental documentary in Florianópolis Audiovisual Mercosul 2018 and presented at different international festivals. We are currently working on Open Mountain de Maria Rojas, which this year participated in the Short Form at the Berlinale Talents Germany and received the fund for the creation of the Prince Claus Fund NextGen (Holland) as well as the Winner of the Fund for the Making of Documentary Short Film of the FDC. In production is Welcome Interplanetary Conquerors and Sidereal Space by Andrés Jurado, winner of the Grant for audiovisual creation with archive from IDArtes 2020, also from his project HeadCutter, winner of the Development of documentary project fund. Cinematographic Development Fund of Colombia. 2020.
