Documentary of the life and work of the notable Peruvian writer and the recreation of an afternoon with the visit of his grandchildren in his mansion in Miraflores in 1919. “Palma is not only the extraordinary writer that we all know he is, if not, a notable model of Peruvianness. “He embodies the spirit of Peru, but not only in his vast and multiform work, but in himself and in his hectic and laborious life.”

Fiction, based on a story by Isabella Falco, through the volume “Anales de la Inquisición” (Doña Ana de Castro) by Ricardo Palma.

The VICUS Cultural Cinematic Newsreel, composed of thirty short films each containing three segments, and MUJER, HOY (WOMAN, TODAY), composed of four short films also with three segments each and a total runtime of approximately five minutes, were both shot on 35mm color film. These were the first newsreels to focus exclusively on cultural content. The diverse appearances and contributions of notable figures in the VICUS and MUJER, HOY collections represent a valuable resource for researchers across various disciplines. They contribute to a deeper understanding of Peru’s cultural memory, serving as a fundamental structure of national identity. The preservation and digitization of these films will allow for exhibitions, forums, and screenings across disciplines such as history, sociology, and anthropology—especially given the scarcity or complete lack of audiovisual material related to renowned visual artists, theater performers, and works that are part of this cultural memory.
