Desandando el tiempo" tiene como protagonista a Juan Jacobo Bajarlia, memorioso poeta, autor de numerosos ensayos, docente y articulista a quien Leopoldo Marechal defini— como "zoologo de la monstruosidad". Durante los ochenta minutos que dura esta acuarela, el octogenario escritor recorre algunas de sus multiples obsesiones con minuciosidad y frescura. En la intimidad del documental, realizado por Rodolfo Duran bajo el pseudonimo de "Valentina Carrasco", Bajarlia convive con lo fantastico, lo oculto, las vanguardias literarias, la evocacion de Alejandra Pizaik y Marechal, un cine poo del bajo porte–o, el recuerdo de su padre, la carcel en tiempos de Peron, Fijman y H.P. Lovecraft, las formulas del anti-mundo, los estereopoemas y los or’genes del ultraismo; Tristan Tzara y Leopoldo Lugones, Rojas y Huidobro; Undurraga, Borges y el Ulises de Joyce. Hopkins, desde Berkeley, dijo alguna vez que las maquinas del tiempo de Bajarlia "dejan de ser instrumentos mecanicos para convertirse en dimensiones metafisicas". Desandando el tiempo, propone volver a poner en funcionamiento esos engranajes para tratar de desentraniar las claves de un viaje a lo largo del siglo, un siglo que tuvo en "el memorioso" Bajarlia a uno de sus protagonistas m‡s sensibles.

An international group from the Artists for Nature Foundation are invited to Peru to sketch and paint the unusual dry forest of Tumbesia. It teems with unique species but is being cut down at an alarming rate.

A local community have got together to put life back into their forest and restore their land to what it was. Chaparri Reserve is the first self-run project of its kind and the artists agreed to give of their time and talent to support the farmers' success in turning around the fortunes of their forests. Proceeds from the book of their artwork, the pictures themselves, and this video too, will promote their cause.

See how the artists do it: from the moment they spot a bird to the last stroke of the brush. As they paint, they explain what they do, what motivates them, and what their feelings are for the forest and its creatures.

But its not just about painting: see extraordinary film of Spectacled Bear and White-winged Guan in their breeding season; endemic hummingbirds dance above a waterfall as they bathe; the rare Marvellous Spatuletails fight over their mupa mupa trees; traditional fishermen surf the waves in their flimsy reed canoes.

This DVD gives deep appreciation of one of the world's three richest areas of biodiversity. Though faced with many threats, this small corner has been saved by this bold Chaparri project. The first reserve of its kind to be owned and run by the campesinos themselves it is already realizing the benefits of replanting and conserving their forest and is an example for other communities to follow.
