La Gringa Guanaca
La Gringa Guanaca is a feature-length experimental documentary about my identity as a Salvadoran-American growing up in the aftermath of El Salvador's civil war. Over the course of five years living in New York City, I slowly explored my role as part of the Salvadoran diaspora and how intergenerational trauma from the motherland affects me. The film combines video art, experimental filmmaking, non-fiction interview, testimony, and theatre performance documentation. Development starting during my M.F.A. DIAP program at The City College of New York. I brought the project to completion during my OHMA program at Columbia University.
