Carne de tu Carne/Bloody Flesh (1983, Dir: Carlos Mayolo)

Incredible colobian horror film that should be widely known. The duo Carlos Mayolo and Luis Ospina literally invented the concept of “Tropical Gothic” as a way to use the tools of gothic genre to talk about the social problems of Colombia, the legacy of colonialism in south america etc. In Carne de Tu Carne, Mayolo tells a story about a couple of incestual bourgeois siblins that slowly develop the same vampiric habits and tastes that their ancestors. There’s a dreamy quality to it when the movie focous on the couple (almost a ~Valerie and her week of incest~) that contrasts with the realism of the world outside their farm. A world marked by police brutality, poverty and bloodsucking parasites just like them.

An exceptional example of this respect occurs among Tembo/Rega populations of the Kivu district, one instance of which occurred in September of 1958 at Mayolo village, where a new chief, Butahiri, was inaugurated. I did not witness the occasion, but he told me that on the day we was crowned with the traditional bead hat, he had to sleep with his sister ("same stomach"). The next night he had to sleep with an Mbuti girl presented to him by the Mbuti "Chief". Butahiri insisted that there was such a Chief, and said that traditionally the girl was meant to be his daughter, but this was not always possible and in that case is was "some other" unmarried female relative. He said he only had to sleep with her once, after which she was sent back to the forest and was never again allowed to see him or any of his family, but would be well cared for.

On attempting to find this Mbuti Chief, I discovered that he was in fact just an elderly hunter, and that the girl was his granddaughter. The local Mbuti denied any system of chieftainship, but said that they always appointed one person to deal with the villagers, as in this instance. Both they and the villagers claimed that the legitimate heirs to the chieftainship had to be born of either one of these two formal unions, and that in fact the Chief would sleep again with one or the other girl until she bore him at least tow boys. They also said that obviously he would not sleep again with his sister (he himself seemed somewhat disgusted at the recollection of this first night as Chief), and so it would be his Mbuti wife who would provide the tribe with its heir.

Honestly feel like this doesnt make any sense or some explanatory detail is missing but i like the idea that the pygmies just like. pretend to have a chief cuz the villagers want them to
