Revelations
Producer
A spontaneous conversation allows for the structure of a possible film. When joining those words with 16 mm footage and rolls of old photographs, the images start to burn and their ignition fosters questions about what memories are, how they are archived and preserved, and which of them vanish without a trace. According to Didi-Huberman, to look at an image one has to be able to distinguish where it is burning.

El Father Plays Himself
Editor
A young film director returns to Venezuela, inspired to make a film based on his father's life in the Amazon jungle (La Fortaleza, Jorge Thielen Armand). He casts Father to play himself. What starts as an act of love and ambition — filmmaking to more deeply understand the self, and the other — spirals into a process which confronts Father’s struggles with addiction and his life devoid of his son. EL FATHER PLAYS HIMSELF holds a steady lens to the way the act of cinema unearths, binds, heals and destroys.
Parable of the Return
Writer
Wilson left his parents' home in Medellin on his way to Bogotá but never reached his destination. 30 years later and after the signing of the peace agreement with the FARC, Wilson tries to return from his exile in London to find his family who believes him dead. The trajectory of the plane draws a parable, but "Parable of the Return" is also a poem by Porphyrio Barba Jacob, who once recited his brother by heart.
