  "account": "Bogota hosted an international conference from September 22-24, 2024, focusing on \"Fourth Cinema.\" This concept refers to films produced by communities, territories, and collective processes. The International Association of Film and Television Schools (CILECT) organized the event, which brought together film schools and programs from around the world. The conference aimed to foster dialogue, reflection, and cooperation within the Ibero-American network.\n\nThe first day of the conference focused on community cinema, exploring collective processes where communities create and share their stories. Examples included Colombian projects like \"Ojo al Sancocho\" and \"Andantes Producciones,\" as well as research on memory, care pedagogies, coloniality, technopolitics, and alternative film distribution.\n\nThe second day shifted its focus to indigenous cinema, examining how indigenous peoples have integrated audiovisual media into their memory, communication, and representation practices. Discussions featured initiatives like the National Commission for Communication of Indigenous Peoples (CONCIP) and the Semillas Tikunas project. Colombian researchers Mauricio Duran, Pablo Mora, and Amalia Cordova contributed to the conversation, addressing body-cinema-territory relationships and audiovisual sovereignties in Abya Yala.\n\nOn the final day, the conference examined the transformation of peripheries into spaces where unique languages, aesthetics, and storytelling methods emerge. Examples included schools in Barichara, Belén de Andaquíes, and the Philippines. The conference sought to strengthen ties between film schools in Ibero-America, highlight their Fourth Cinema experiences, and promote transformative, contextualized dialogues.",
