The Kings of the World
Associate Producer
Rá, Culebro, Sere, Winny and Nano. Five boys who live on the streets of Medellín. Five kings with no kingdom, no law, no family, set out on a journey in search of the promised land. A subversive tale told through a wild and endearing clan, somewhere between reality and delirium. A journey to nowhere, where everything happens.

Producer
What seems to be the story of a promising young artist, Tito Lombana, and that of his romance with an intelligent and liberal Italian, begins to dress in shadows.

Men's Haircut
Producer
When I was a little boy I saw the FIFA World Cup USA 49 with my father. I used to live in a conservative town, and I had my hair cut as the Roberto Baggio´s, the italian player. My father cutted my hair yelling: Cut you hair as a men! This documentary is the search, still without an answer, about what is a men's hair cut in Colombia.
Carta a una sombra
Writer
In August 1987, Héctor Abad Gómez was murdered on the streets of downtown Medellín during the darkest moments of the dirty war against the Colombian left. Why was he killed? Who could have had a vested interest in silencing a university professor, human rights activist and doctor who was a precursor of the concept of "public health" in Colombia?

Our Father
Writer
It is the year of grace of 1950. Ignacio (11) is celebrating his First Communion, a step that, according to catholics, puts him closer to God and opens up a space for him in the believers community. Communion implies, he will have enough grace to go to Paradise one day. It is also the day he is declared as a “conscious” person. However, from long time before, his tutor, sister Josefa, and the priest of the church, have said terrible things about his dead father, a communist that by now, as they say, should be burning in hell’s fire.
