About Sorcery

Chiloé Island, 1880. After her father is murdered by a German colonist, Rosa (Valentina Véliz Caileo), a 13-year-old Huilliche girl, renounces her Christian upbringing and seeks shelter with Mateo (Daniel Antivilo), the leader of an Indigenous organization that practices witchcraft. Under Mateo’s gruff yet tender tutelage, she learns the art of sorcery and vows to settle the score.

Based on actual events, Christopher Murray’s dark decolonial fantasy is an enigmatic coming-of-age tale, rooted in the historical conflict between German settlers and the Huilliche people of Chile. Strikingly shot by cinematographer Maria Secco, Sorcery conjures an atmosphere of mournful magic, while spinning a cautiously hopeful account of Indigenous resistance.
