Abstract
This chapter is a personal testimony of the author, an Indigenous filmmaker from Ecuador, and part of the binational Pasto people. It relates the experience of the audiovisual collective that she co-founded, Corporation of Audiovisual Producers of Nationalities and Peoples (CORPANP). It examines Indigenous audiovisual production as it relates to self-representation, self-determination, content design, collective creation and Indigenous techniques. It discusses the concept of cosmovivencia, which describes not just how Indigenous people see the world, but how they live it.
