Colectivo Los Ingrávidos: An Anthology

Batalha Centro de Cinema & ICA, 2025, softcover, 281 pages, 17 x 23 cm

Colectivo Los Ingrávidos: An Anthology explores the radical practice of one of today's most prolific and politically charged film collectives. Emerging in 2012, Colectivo Los Ingrávidos challenges cinematic conventions through a decolonial lens, making films that dissolve the boundaries between ritual and resistance, myth and history, the personal and the collective.

This publication gathers Los Ingrávidos' foundational texts - including their Manifesto and Thesis on the Audiovisual - alongside newly comissioned essays and critical reflections by thinkers in experimental and decolonial cinema. By presenting the collective's writings in their voice while broadening its reach. 

Contributions by Almudena Escobar López, Victor Guimarães, Adam Piron, Raquel Schefer, and Frederico Windhausen situate Los Ingrávidos within a lineage of Latin American and Indigenous filmmakers who disrupt dominant narratives and reimagine cinema as a tool for liberation. From layered meditations on ancestral histories to visceral critiques of state violence, this book reveals the collective's ability to transform the cinematic apparatus into a space of inquiry and political resistance.
