Content overview: “Jeissy Trompiz’s ‘Three Houses’ Spotlights Afro and Indigenous Venezuela on the ‘Periphery”. Jeissy Trompiz’s documentary ‘Three Houses’ turns a lens on the Afro and Indigenous communities of Venezuela, groups the filmmaker says exist on the ‘periphery of the periphery.’ Trompiz, who left his native Maracaibo in 2014 to study at Cuba’s International School of Film and TV, uses the film to explore lives shaped by the country’s prolonged economic and political crisis. The project grew from conversations with a Brazilian filmmaker friend, during which Trompiz initially struggled to articulate what was happening back home. ‘Three Houses’ focuses on three families from distinct regions, revealing how systemic neglect compounds their marginalization.
By centering their stories, Trompiz challenges mainstream narratives that often erase these communities from Venezuela’s national identity. The film arrives as global interest in underrepresented voices grows, making its perspective both timely and urgent.
