Dir. Juliano Kunert / 2026 / 11 mins / Dominican Republic / Spanish / Documentary, Experimental / Australian Premiere

PRESENTED BY

A transfixing, meditative journey into faith, history and cultural identity in the Dominican Republic.

Heralding a major new talent in Juliano Kunert, this ephemeral trip through the Antilles retraces paths of popular faith and ancestral experiences that shaped the filmmaker’s own childhood. Religion, memory and colonial echoes overlap in the film’s exuberant compositions, high-contrast cuts and startling bursts of colour.
