History
Víctor Manuel Gaviria González (born January 19, 1955, in Liborina, Antioquia, Colombia) is a film director, writer, and poet. His four feature-length films are highly acclaimed and have won many international awards. He is the first Colombian filmmaker to be featured at the Cannes Film Festival in France. He is often recognized as the most influential and well-known filmmaker to come out of Colombia, often being considered an exception to Colombian Cinema.
After studying abroad, Mercedes returns to Colombia to work on the next film by her father, the famous Víctor Gaviria. Fluctuating between admiration and reproach, Mercedes constructs a private diary that goes beyond familial conflicts to question the place of women in the film world, which is still strongly ingrained with a patriarchal mindset.
One of the most important Colombian films of the last years revives. With 'The Rose Seller' we learned about the most painful side of addictions: lost youth. What happened to its protagonists? How, against all odds, did they make such a powerful tale? Erwin Goggel's 'Making birds act' is a return to that universe, a look at the most melancholic, surprising, and bleak past from 20 years ago, or a look at today, 20 years after its birth.
