Our take

Moving away from the comedy genre, Martín Rejtman’s foray into documentary records the colorful Bolivian folkloric dances performed for the annual Virgin of Copacabana festival. With minimal interference, Rejtman’s ethnographic lens focuses on the minutest of details, capturing the rhythms of life.
