New Chilean Filmmaker
Today I will write about a expert on my field: Claudia Huaquimillla. Claudia is a chilean filmmaker, she is mapuche and she is tirthy years old, also she is mom.
Claudia was born in 1987 in Santiago of Chile, her paternal family is mapuche. Claudia lived the mapuche conflict since she was a kid and still very present in her life. She studied in a Pontificia Catolica of Chile the career audiovisual direction and she did a script diplom at Escuela de cine de Chile where she works now.
Her first short film is "La noche de San Juan" in 2012, where Cheo is a maldjusted child, he lives with her father and this one drinks in excess. The holiday of San Juan that Mapuche prepares his community might be the instance where Cheo finds his revenge.
And her first movie is Mala Junta in 2016 at the Vaildivia International Film Festival. This movie is about Tano and Cheo, two young boys, one from Santiago and the other is mapuche. Tano has problems and is likely to end up sename. Thats the reason he goes to live with his father to San Jose de la Mariquina and there a friendship is born with Cheo.
She has a lot of awards for example: best short film in 19th Valdivia International Film Festival
and part of the official selection of 53th, Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival and the 24th International Film Festival of Los Angeles, USA.
I really like this chilean filmmaker and her movie because, she is young, is a mapuche woman, and her works are about social problems. She is an amazing person, she inspires me very much in the new cinema industry in Chile.

I really want to see Mala junta, It sounds like a interesting movie!
