Camilo Torres Restrepo, el amor eficaz
Camera Operator
An experimental documentary that dares to gather diverse and plural audiovisual archive materials, which gives itself the possibility of creating an imaginary, but concrete, intense and profound conversation between the filmmaker Marta Rodríguez and the indefinable Camilo Torres Restrepo. A film that invents the opportunity to talk to a dead man, why yes, Camilo died, but his questions, his ideas and his effective love remain strong and powerful within Marta's life and political and artistic reflection. Who was Camilo Torres Restrepo? The documentary tries to answer this question by looking at Colombia today, analyzing it, and understanding it, perhaps a little more, in its inequalities and its constant violence. Perhaps this is the greatest legacy that Camilo left to those who are still alive.

Chircales
Director
Chircales es la búsqueda de una metodología adaptada a las condiciones socio-políticas de América Latina. Su filmación se inicia en el año 1966 al sur de la ciudad de Bogotá en un barrio llamado “Tunjuelito” donde existían grandes haciendas cuyos dueños arrendaban sus tierras para la producción artesanal de ladrillos. Colombia viene de vivir la violencia del año 48 y grandes masas de población campesina migran a las ciudades, refugiándose en estas zonas sub-urbanas. Agricultores en su mayoría llegan a la ciudad con muy pocas herramientas para su subsistencia.
