Javiera Cisterna

2026

Landscapes revealed themselves through text, paper through movement, while the sun gave them relief. This is a journey across found words, enunciating a discovery, their textures constructing the sea and the waves, in a travelogue from the first exploration, the first step over the sand towards the shore. “Amor” writes this joy to underline it in its time, captured on paper. This film has been composed through a scanner, and it’s the first chapter of the “Reír al Sol” series.

Javiera Cisterna (Santiago, Chile, 1991) has worked on several short films in various formats, specializing in techniques rooted in experimentation and research into the image and digitally derived motion. Her work shows a growing interest in color and the geometric abstraction of the visible, crossing audiovisual practice and graphic art. She is currently developing her first long-form project, a series of short films titled "Reír al Sol", made using a scanner as a camera. She has also completed a number of short films that explore the image and its digital composition, including "Erial," "ruido; rauca," "Agua del arroyo que tiembla", "en niebla fugada;.", “Amor”. In addition, together with Francisco Rojas, she has been part of the film club La Región Central since its founding in 2022.
