Description: Trailer of the documentary "Soy Improvisao", produced and edited in Costa Rica by our audiovisual production company. In this are excerpts of the documentary, which tells the experiences, dangers and sacrifices of a group of circus clowns in the circle where they work. With this trailer, people are invited to watch the documentary to learn a little more about the life of the Costa Rican rodeo bufo and everything that involves their work, inside and outside their dangerous work.

Community documentary made in the community of Guápiles of the canton of Pococí de Limón, with funds from the Workshop Scholarship Program of the Culture Directorate of the Ministry of Culture and Youth. Selected work for the Costa Rica International Film Festival "Peace with the Earth" 2013. The impact that this project has had is defined in the contribution it makes to a way of recovering the historical memory through the reconstruction of stories made by people older adults who were, at the time, protagonists of the construction process of the so-called Route 32, which goes to the Caribbean area of ​​our country. The documentary is a record of his memory and a possibility for current generations to recognize historical versions of a fact from unofficial but significant stories for community identity.

It was quite a journey to get out of the "ass of the world", in it they escaped from their lives, it was an eight-hour trip, getting to San José in less time was the challenge of this Caribbean community. They heard of a road for carts, that next to the railroad transported the coffee to Europe and heard of the trips by the mountains of many adventurers, this together with their imperative need motivated them to seek to open a way to San José so in the In the seventies his community adventure began, which, due to the town of Bellavista, did not materialize due to the fact that the Zurquí massif was impassable. The community did not falter and moved other possibilities: due to its tenacity, the design of the current route began and after many years of construction, problems and governments, the long-awaited Route 32 was built. Today the trip lasts one hour, today nothing is as before: "the vans disturb us, we no longer know anyone but that was it or to remain the ass of the world".

What is Profe en c @ sa?

A program born of audiovisual culture, which moves young people worldwide, through which the Costa Rican educational system is committed to the implementation of strategies and methodological resources that align the interests and needs of that population with the contents curricula formalized in the Programs of Study, offered in the Ministry of Public Education (MEP). To this end, the "Profe en c @ sa" project is launched.

"Profe en c @ sa" aims to promote the dissemination of good teaching and learning practices for teachers and students, through the creation of a collection of videos for self-training and exchange of experiences in various curricular areas, through its publication on a website , which will be administered by the Ministry of Public Education (MEP).

In the first phase, the MEP created the online channels and is publishing high quality professional videos. Then there will be a second phase, where teachers who wish to join this effort, can record and send their own videos to be published. And finally, in the third phase, the students will be able to record themselves and send their own explanations, and then post them on the "Profe en c @ sa" channels.

The project will start with the most problematic contents of seventh and eleventh year, and then expand to cover all secondary subjects. Subsequently, the project would also be extended to primary school.

These videos meet the quality standards necessary to attract the attention of students and teachers throughout the country, and motivate their participation, as a tool that promotes learning and contributes to the fight against student desertion.

Descripción: Teaser of the documentary La Familia de la Vejiga.

Synopsis: The festivities of San Bartolomé, better known as Barva's popular festivities, are made up of a cultural fabric that weaves together the traditional Costa Rican masquerade with clowns and cimarronas. A celebration that in the eyes of the world seems colloquial but opens the eyes to those who manage to be part of it and realize that parties are not parties if there are no bladders. This last factor is hampered by the prohibition of SENASA, the State and the Ministry of Health, a situation that complicates but does not prevent the bladders from being achieved, as a party without giving and receiving vejigazos is not a party. This has led to illegal transfer in the slaughterhouses in the area. Bombi, the most famous mask in the village, contributes to the cultural tradition as an artist, but his real contribution to the festivities is to be, together with his family, the bladder dealer.
