I’m Mariluz Guerra, an independent filmmaker from Colombia, proudly representing my indigenous Kankuama roots. I’m deeply passionate about using cinema as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and connecting with our innermost emotions. My work primarily revolves around healing cinema, a genre that I believe has the power to transform how we see ourselves and the world around us.
Currently, I’m working on a film project titled “Body Stories: Marta & Fidel”, a narrative about two Latin American musicians navigating the complexities of their personal and professional lives while struggling to overcome internal barriers. This project is particularly close to my heart as it sheds light on themes of self-limitation, emotional vulnerability, and empowerment.
I’m also excited to announce that my short film “Body Stories: Menstrual Cycle” will be projected on a building in New York City on September 26th. It’s part of a live event hosted by CultureHub and celebrates the stages of the menstrual cycle from a personal and indigenous perspective. If you’re in NYC, I’d love for you to join us at 7 PM at E 4th Street between 2nd Ave & Bowery.
I’m always looking to connect with fellow filmmakers, collaborators, and creatives who share the vision of using film to promote emotional well-being and authentic storytelling.
All the best!
Mariluz.

As a native New Yorker, I cannot think of anything cooler than your film being projected on the side of a building on East 4th street - totally badass. I'll let some friends who live downtown know about it. Wishing you huge success, Mariluz Guerra - please let us know how it goes.

Hello again guys! As Sam Sokolow suggested me, here is my update from the Kintecoying Now event in NYC: https://www.bodystoriesproject.com/post/celebrating-indigenous-creativit... In abstract it was beautiful, even though I wasn't there in-person. CultureHub team sent the the pictures that captures the essence of the event and the community. It was lovely and I would be happy to participate the next year! :)
