This celebratory evening at THE STAKEOUT is a way to get familiar with the director's work... who happens to belong to the Year of the Snake. Local documentary filmmaker Erica Nguyen will screen Shadow Weavers, and a sneak peak of another story in the making. Winner of the Best New Mexican Feature Documentary by SFiFF, Shadow Weavers returns to Taos where the editing magic began.
About the films…
SHADOW WEAVERS:
Along the Peruvian Andes a network of encoded messages is woven into every hat, where wool & straw become forms of communication & resistance. A Spanish/ Quechua- language film that sees the hat as a vehicle for the land to speak.
