MUBI Podcast Encuentros features Argentine filmmaker Clarisa Navas and Colombian sound designer Mercedes Gaviria discussing the temporality of relationship-building within cinema and listening as an ethical practice. Navas, recognized internationally for fiction features screened at Berlinale and San Sebastián, recently premiered her documentary at Visions du Réel 2025, winning the Grand Prize. The work documents a decade-long relationship with its subject along the Argentina-Paraguay border while foregrounding class consciousness and gender awareness. Gaviria, a sound artist collaborating with prominent Latin American auteurs including Pereda and Carri, brings experimental and documentary practice to the conversation. Both filmmakers approach cinema as collective, populist expression rather than auteurist isolation, exploring how film and lived experience become indistinguishable through sustained creative engagement and attentive listening.
