Cómo suspender una bandera

EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILM
Cómo suspender una bandera (How to Suspend a Flag) – An image: hoisting the largest flag of Peru. This gesture becomes the starting point for a critical exploration of one of the patriotic symbols imposed upon us to forge a collective identity. Through a narrative that intertwines videos found on YouTube with the poetic voice of Teresa Orbegoso, the flag rises and remains suspended in the sky, becoming a floating, fragile object available to be observed from other angles. From there, the possibility opens up to question it, to let it go, or even to deny it. This symbolic gesture does not seek to destroy, but to think anew: what does this flag truly mean to those who inhabit, carry, or reject it? Between image and word, between archive and poetry, a space is built to look at what has been inherited and, perhaps, imagine another way of belonging.
