Venezuela, the mid-nineteenth century. The polarization between liberals and conservatives marked the political agenda.

Taita Boves
Music
TAITA BOVES chronicles a thirst for revenge that devastated a country. It tells the true story of Jose Tomás Boves, a cruel man who became a legend during the Venezuelan War of Independence, the most violent in the Americas. He went from seafarer to pirate, horse smuggler to prosperous merchant, prisoner to military chief. Spanish by birth, he spearheaded a grass roots troop of slaves, mulattoes, Indians and mestizos that crushed Simón Bolívar and his patriot army. Respectfully referred to as "Taita" by them, he fought for the underprivileged and the poorest of the poor, and curtailed three centuries of order in this colonial region. This film is about his passions and power, his loves and misadventures, and a bloody saga that rocked Venezuela.
Miranda Regresa
Music
.Un periodista se introduce clandestinamente en la celda de Miranda, en la Carraca el 10 de Julio de 1816.

Miranda, viejo zorro de la geopolítica internacional desde el siglo pasado, desconfía del impetuoso muchacho, quien poco a poco se va ganando su confianza hasta que el cautivo accede a concederle la entrevista.Aquí comienza un viaje retrospectivo de la vida del generalísimo donde la vuelta al pasado, a los momentos formativos más trascendentes de la construcción del joven, del hombre, del seductor, del soldado español, del ilustrado, el desertor, el independentista, el político, el guerrero, el espía, el contrabandista, el hereje, el conspirador y el precursor, se narran para develarnos la magnitud de Francisco de Miranda, quizás por siempre el más universal de los venezolanos.
Devil's Gold
Music
Devil Gold is director José Novoa's third collaboration with producer Elia Schneider, and like the previous two films, Huelepega (or Glue Sniffer, which Schneider directed in 2000) and Sicario (1994), the film is a thriller-melodrama that focuses on a real-life problem plaguing Venezuela, with an emphasis on how the conditions affect children. Thus, after a few titles explaining the impact that gold mining has had on the country's Amazon region, along with helicopter footage (later to be blended into the narrative) of the ecologically devastated area, the film settles in on the lawless shanty town of Payapal for its narrative. Gallego (Armando Gota) runs the mine, exploiting his cheap labor force. Aroldo (Pedro Lander) breaks into Gallego's safe and steals his gold, along with a good deal of gold that Gallego was holding for his workers. Aroldo involves the unwitting Carmen (Jenny Noguera) in the robbery, and, when they are discovered, he shoots and kills Gallego's young son.
