A few years ago, I discovered that in Zapotec and Mixtec the word tiempo does not exist. “Moving image” is referred to as time. What is “moving image” as understood by the Zapotecs and Mixtecs? The films in this program have been created by Mexican youth in the Zapotec sierra in the State of Oaxaca, as part of their first incursion with cameras. The question remains in the air—if time does not exist for the Zapotecs or Mixtecs, what happens when the youth take hold of a camera?

The following five shorts were completed during the first, second and third editions of the Campamento Audiovisual Itinerante, an event for the learning, exchanging, producing, exhibiting and developing of audiovisual projects, which is run every year in a Zapotec community in the northern sierra of Oaxaca, Mexico.
