NAGUALA

Naguala doesn’t depict shapeshifting - it performs it. The fluidity between channels, the rhythmic fragmentation, the invocation of earth and cosmos - this is ritual cinema.

The animals, the whispering, the earth textures - I don’t know, it felt like something ancient. I was watching but also remembering something I’d never lived. It felt sacred.

I didn’t understand everything, but I didn’t feel like I had to. The visuals were so powerful. When the voice asked ‘Who are you outside of your skin?’ - it gave me goosebumps. I felt like I left the room for a moment.

This felt like standing inside a myth. The triple projection immerses you not as a viewer, but as a participant. It reminded me of Valie Export or Maya Deren through a Mesoamerican lens. Please show this in more galleries.

Naguala operates outside of linearity - it dissolves time and space through repetition and multi-channel layering. Its politics are subtle but clear: identity is not fixed, not colonial, not singular. This is decolonial cinema at its most poetic.

I watched this with my body, not my brain. The pulsing rhythms, the animal movements, the breathy voice - it all spoke to my bones. A film for the nervous system.
