Résumé anglais Contemporary Colombian cinema has developed new narratives aimed at questioning the effects of armed conflict on historically marginalized communities. Based on an analysis of the films La Playa D.C. (2012) by Juan Andrés Arango and Siembra (2015) by Ángela Osorio and Santiago Lozano, this paper examines how cinematic fiction addresses uprooting, grief, and collective memory in Afro-descendant communities in the Colombian Pacific. The staging of Afro-Pacific funeral rituals is analyzed as a privileged space in which mourning is affirmed as a practice of living memory in the face of structural violence and forced displacement. These rituals allow the Afro-descendant subject to take shape in the cinematic imagination without renouncing their opacity, through sensitive forms that reveal their subjectivity and their own ways of relating to loss. From this perspective, mourning not only articulates an intimate experience, but also contributes to re-signifying the Afro-descendant presence both in cinematic fiction and in the symbolic space of the nation.
