MMW @ the DLA Film Festival

Thanks to the organisation Discovering Latin America, Meet My World was showcased once again on the big screen at the Odeon Covent Garden Cinema in the heart of London. The screening was followed by appearances from Fred Branson and Chris Palfreyman from Amantani UK, Martin Morales from Andina, and a Q&A with Cristina about the making of our 14 documentary films in 3 weeks at 4,000 metres above sea level! 

It was a lovely night and a great opportunity for those who haven't seen them in the cinema before, and it was certainly very interesting to have the chance to chat with quite a few Peruvians who came to the screening, and listen to their emotional reactions to the films and fond memories from their own childhoods. 

We would like to thank Veronica Saenz for sharing these photos with us!

Back in the Peruvian Andes

Thanks to Lucuma Films in New York City, Cristina was commissioned a documentary shoot in Ancash, Peru. Alongside Director Mitchell Teplitsky, Camera Palu Abadía and Soundman Javier Arciniega, Cristina filmed the provincial elections in a remote town called Llamellín, 8 hours away from the city of Huaraz. 

The crew spent 3 weeks filming the everyday life in Llamellin surrounded by amazingly beautiful landscapes and the election process for mayor of the province Antonio Raimondi during late September, early October 2014.

Meet My World in Peru

Meet My World and Cristina's work were featured in the Sunday's issue of the national newspaper El Comercio (22/0614). The films will be screened on the 25/06 at the Centro Cultural Británico in Miraflores, and after that is going to Cusco for a very special screening for our 12 amazing teachers and all the community of Ccorca! 

Exciting times!

Meet My World Events

After 18 months of hard work, our Meet My World documentaries were finally launched on May 6th and 7th at the Millbank Media Center in London. Both dates were SOLD OUT. 600 people went to see our beautiful films on the big screen. 
It was a very special night. Peruvian food was served alongside delicious Pisco sours from Andina. An auction was held and there was behind the scenes footage shown with a little insight into the filming process from Cristina. The energy in the room was vibrant and everybody enjoyed and learned from our beautiful teachers. Both nights were unforgettable and this is just the beginning of more events to come. Next stop is Lima in June, and Cusco in July. And you can see the films here too: http://www.meetmyworld.org/films/

Criskcracker in Cusco

Cristina has been commissioned by Amantani UK, a charity working to defend the rights of children in Peru, to shoot a series of films starred by 12 children teaching something they love about their community. 

Do you fancy learning catching fish with your bear hands, dying wool with vegetables, shepherding sheep, making delicious Andean meals, making Inca bread, healing with medicinal plants and much more? Then stay tuned! The films are in the making and they will be screened in London soon!

In the meantime why don't you find out how is Cris doing up in the mountains of Peru in her blog!
