Plot:
Puna, Argentina. Kollas natives suddenly find themselves in the center of national and international stakes because of their underground natural resources. Standard Silver, a Canadian company, launches an ambitious project of an open-sky silver mine on the abandoned site of Mina Pirquitas, 4.500 m high. This mine is to become one of the most productive in Latin America. Standard Silver gets the monopole over the underground natural resources, disturbing the fragile balance of the Kollas natives living in poverty. Kollas thus become victims of the globalization with this new mining boom associated to the decreasing metal exchange rate, essential to the technological development of our modern societies.

Ninety-four films are screened over an official seven days, with 19 extra days showing pre and post-festival films for the festival hardcores who can’t bear to go home.
