AXOMAMA
a short film by Tracy Valcárcel
26:47 | Documentary | Colour | March 2025
“In the Andean highlands where the potato was born, a filmmaker traces her lineage—intertwining memory, migration, and a longing for the land, language, and rituals that colonisation often disrupts.”
AXOMAMA follows the life of Alberto and his relatives, a family of potato custodians in the Peruvian Andes. The film weaves a parallel between the potato’s journey and the narrator’s complex tracing of her own origins, grappling with questions of identity and belonging. From a sacred tuber to one of the world’s most ubiquitous foods, the humble potato emerges as both metaphor and mirror of resistance in the face of survived displacement.
Red Onion
a short film by Zachary Finkelstein
07:18 | Experimental | Colour | May 2025
Red Onion is a formalist response to a structuralist question. This single-take film pays homage to Hollis Frampton’s Lemon (1969), combining Frampton’s stated preference for his film to have been completed in a continuous take with my own cinematic obsessions.
