proyectoamil, Alta Tecnología Andina (ATA), and Corriente – Corriente – Encuentro Latinoamericano de Cine de No Ficción, with the support of the British Council and Universidad Católica de Santa María, present the work of Peruvian-British filmmaker Rose Lowder in Arequipa for the first time. The presentation brings together a selection of her 16 mm films, her notebooks, and a special program of activities as part of the Hay Festival Arequipa 2026 and the 13th edition of Corriente – Encuentro Latinoamericano de Cine de No Ficción.

The presentation offers an opportunity to encounter Lowder’s work through both her films and the materials behind their making, bringing together cinema, drawing, observation, and a sustained engagement with the rhythms of the natural world.

Born in Lima in 1941, Rose Lowder moved to London, where she studied at Regent Street Polytechnic and Chelsea School of Art. Since the late 1960s, she has developed a filmmaking practice centered on observation, time, and the relationship between the image and the natural world. She currently lives and works in France.

A key figure in international experimental cinema, Lowder has developed a distinctive working method: she films and constructs her films frame by frame with a 16 mm Bolex camera, editing directly in the camera. Her films explore movement, light, color, and rhythm through gardens, orchards, and cultivated landscapes. Her notebooks, an essential part of her process, serve as visual scores, letting viewers trace the decisions that shape each film.

Her work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, and has been presented at institutions including Tate Modern, the Cinémathèque française, the Art Institute of Chicago, and CalArts.
