Marching-band film from Quito’s school peripheries
Based in Netherlands, Netherlands
This is a single-channel film, not a concert. It follows two student marching bands moving between martial cadences and Latin American popular arrangements, with editing folding their separate rehearsals into a staged battle.
The work comes from Francisco Baquerizo-Racines’ ongoing Tiempos de Guerra project. He works from the tension between center and periphery, and this piece keeps the action inside the schools while pointing to wider conflict and confinement.
The two bands are filmed separately, so they never share the same space.
