Our song to war
Juanita Onzaga

O.V. Spanish | st English

Crocodile-men, a mystic river, some kids who like fishing and a war that is coming to an end, share the same Colombian land: Bojaya. In this place, villagers have strange beliefs and celebrate the “Novenario” death ritual. This might be the beginning of a very long story, where spirits and humans meet each other to learn what is there to life after the end of war.

Nuevas ansiedades
Sofía Reyes

O.V. Spanish

It stages a dialogue of love and indifference on a collage of moving images, apocalyptic and real, appropriated from the Internet. Natural disasters, catastrophes and taking of cities and highways, function as post-human organisms: an immeasurable and fatalistic Matrix, in which only the waiting without conviction and passive contemplation remain. The inevitable end of a relationship and the decline of civilization converge in the same destiny.

El genio secreto del catalejo
Sandra Rengifo

O.V. German

"Thus, in the midst of a friendly chat about the view of the ships, one sees or thinks that one sees, or hopes to see, or wishes to see, or despairs of seeing that which the secret genie of the spyglass reveals to him who understands how to use it correctly. Only in the proper hands and for the proper eye is it a divine telegraph; for everybody else it is a useless contrivance." Søren Kierkegaard, Letters, no.17.
