description The objective of this paper is to know the image of the indigenous communities in the Venezuelan cinema (1998-2008), and the representation of these ethnics groups, through the definition of “national identity” in contemporary Venezuela, especially since the struggles of the indigenous people for their cultural and ethnic survival, their defense of their land, and their political and economic self-determination.It is important to remember that in 1968, during the first government of Rafael Caldera (1969-1974), the country began a “new indigenous policy”, in the midst of the economic desarrollista model implanted for this government, called the conquest of the South [la Conquista del Sur], which also allowed a new ethnographic and socio-anthropological approach to the indigenous communities, from different filmmakers formed in Venezuela and abroad. This paper presents a preliminary film inventory of this filmography, as a representative example of fictional films and documentaries, with indigenous theme, to know the representation of this population in the current Venezuelan “audiovisual imagery”, during this particular time.
