’Cargadores’ is the first of a series of ten films that would result of Joëlle de La Casinière and Michel Bonnemaison’s stay in the American continent from 1972 to 1979. The ’cargadores’ teferred to in the title are Cuzco’s street porters, human beings who carry on their back a huge bundle with all the sorrows of the world. Their load can be sometimes so much bigger than themselves that they disappear underneath it, becoming a part of the mass of objects they carry. Mountains of baskets, boxes or chairs are left wandering around the city on their own.
