A visual essay from the deep Amazon 🌋

“The story puts a face onto the mountain, or the mountain puts its face into the story.”

One and a half billion years old, the Mavecure Mountains in the Colombian Amazon are the granite remains of a former world, home to time’s deep roots and myths that accumulate like geological layers. The domes are considered the dwelling places of the gods for the Indigenous people of this place, who tell a story of a beautiful princess who fled to the mountains after being jinxed. Whenever it rains, her tears pour down the black slopes, leaving silver-white streaks.

Making its online premiere, “Mountains That Weep,” directed by Aurora Solá, draws us into the presence of these monoliths to find what makes them sacred. Featuring an original soundtrack using field recordings of Puinave and Curripaco flutes, rattles, and drums, this film introduces us to a geologist and an Indigenous poet, each reconstructing the ecological histories and ancestral memories of these mountains through traces of the past that remain.
