Tayta Shanti is a 2023 Peruvian drama film directed, written and edited by Hans Matos Camac. [1] It is about Angie and her cousin Marcelo who must face their own identity: she struggling to accept her ethnicity and he struggling to accept his true sexuality. [2]
The Valdez family gathers for the traditional Tayta Shanti festival. Angela arrives from the capital with her daughter Angie, who denies her provincial roots. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the party, Angie and her cousin Marcelo will have to confront her identity, since she does not consider herself Huancaína and he represses his sexuality. [3]
Principal photography lasted 4 weeks starting in July 2022 in Huancayo, Junín. [4]
Tayta Shanti had its world premiere on August 14, 2023, in the Made in Peru section at the 27th Lima Film Festival. [5] It was commercially released on February 29, 2024, in Peruvian theaters. [6]
Gustavo Herrera Taboada from Cinencuentro wrote: "Tayta Shanti has technical aspects to improve, including its limited variety of photographic compositions and some continuity issues in editing. However, like its peculiar soundtrack, it is an ambitious Huancaí production that achieves a harmonious marriage between tradition and modernity, and that ends up spreading its good humor and even better intentions."
