SUMMARY
This essay describes a collective experience of cine comunitario (community cinema) as a humanistic method for (re)telling narratives, for working in a polyphonic audiovisual mode, and for transmitting ontological perspectives of life, poetics, and communitas to diverse audiences. Specifically, we share our story of a collective journey, that of making the Kichwa film Kukama Runa, a 36‐minute fictional work based on a Napo Runa myth.
