The film Between Memories explores the complex legacies of twenty years of violence and war in Peru through the ways people choose to remember it. In three audio-visual pieces made in collaboration with relatives of the disappeared, former insurgents in prison, and members of the armed forces, the director aims to create an on-screen dialogue between memories, which in practice remains elusive.

 

Martha-Cecilia Dietrich is a social anthropologist and filmmaker. She currently holds an assistant professor position at the University of Amsterdam. As part of her research activities, she made several award-winning documentary films on the politics of remembering violent conflicts, memory activism as well as human and environmental rights in Latin America.  For more, please check: https://mcdietrich.net
