PRESENTATION Proimágenes Colombia and the Bogota Chamber of Commerce welcome the eighth edition of the Bogota Audiovisual Market (bam). This year’s Market will feature the presence of our guest of honor France, as the culmination of its “Crossed Seasons” initiative, part of the Year of Colombia and France – 2017. bam will officially open with the Colombian premiere of the film Zombillenium (Arthur de Pins and Alexis Ducord). For the next five days, some 1,200 Colombian and international attendees will share experiences with more than 20 French guests, as well as around 60 international experts from various branches of the audiovisual industry. Over the past eight years, we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of expected deals and completed deals coming out of the Market, as bam has become the official showcase for Colombia’s film and television projects in development, completed short and feature films, web series, television series, and all kinds of stories that are waiting to be told. This growth is reflected in an increased participation in the many bam programs. This year, we have selected 50 talented young people (Bammers), 46 projects seeking co-production partners, 12 scripts that were pre-selected or awarded by the fdc and are seeking partners, 13 feature films that have been completed or are now in post-production, 102 titles available at the online video library, and 12 film festivals participating in the Sixth Workshop organized by the Film Department of the Ministry of Culture. And at our 18 bam Talks we’ll bring you the latest trends, best practices, and audience management practices for film and television content. In order to offer attendees ever more opportunities to network, establish partnerships, and make deals with other industry stakeholders, this edition will launch several new events that will be held at the Gimnasio Moderno school. The bam Forum will host our now traditional networking brunches (bam Brunch) plus a new program of academic and promotional talks. The Lounge, sponsored by the National Television Authority, will be dedicated to television. And the Big Top will double its capacity this year, for a total of more than 30 exhibitors. We are especially grateful to the National Council of Arts and Culture in Film (cnacc), for its crucial commitment to bam all these years. We have also received important support from our official partners—antv, Caracol, Cine Colombia, and bmw—as well as our long-time supporters—the Embassy of France in Colombia, sena, idartes, Invest in Bogota, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology, procolombia, the Universidad Central, the Universidad Javeriana, and the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano; and the many others who have taken part in this initiative to strengthen the Colombian film and media industry. We invite you to get into #ModoBAM, with all of the stories and formats in a single city.
PRESENTACIÓN Proimágenes Colombia y la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá dan la bienvenida a la octava versión del Bogotá Audiovisual Market (bam), evento con el que culminará la presencia de Francia –nuestro invitado de honor– en Colombia en el marco del programa de cooperación “Temporadas cruzadas” del año Colombia-Francia 2017. Nuestro mercado se abrirá oficialmente con el estreno nacional de la película Zombillenium (Arthur de Pins y Alexis Ducord) y durante 5 días cerca de 1.200 acreditados nacionales e internacionales compartirán experiencias. Contaremos con la participación de más de 20 invitados franceses, a los que se sumarán alrededor de 60 expertos internacionales de los diversos campos de la industria audiovisual. En el transcurso de estos 8 años, el bam se ha fortalecido en cuanto a expectativas y negociación efectiva, y se ha afianzado como la vitrina oficial de la oferta colombiana de proyectos audiovisuales en desarrollo, cortos y largo metrajes terminados, series web, series de televisión y propuestas de historias por contar. Esto se refleja en la gran acogida que ha tenido la convocatoria de este año, donde han sido seleccionados 50 jóvenes talentos (Bammers), 46 proyectos en búsqueda de coproducción, 12 guiones preseleccionados o premiados por el fdc que están en búsqueda de aliados para realizarse, 13 largometrajes terminados o en etapa de postproducción, 102 títulos disponibles a través de la videoteca virtual y 12 festivales de cine participantes del vi Taller organizado por la Dirección de Cinematografía del Ministerio de Cultura. Las 18 conferencias que hacen parte de los bam Talks dan cuenta de las últimas tendencias, buenas prácticas y manejo de audiencias de los contenidos audiovisuales. Con el propósito de seguir ofreciendo un ambiente cada vez más propicio para la consolidación de relaciones, alianzas y negocios entre los diferentes sectores de la industria, en la presente edición, tendremos otros nuevos espacios que facilitarán el encuentro de los profesionales en la sede del Gimnasio Moderno. El bam Forum, donde se llevarán a cabo nuestros tradicionales desayunos de networking (bam Brunch) y la nueva programación de charlas académicas y promocionales; el Lounge, dedicado a la televisión, auspiciado por la Autoridad Nacional de Televisión; y el Big Top, que duplica su capacidad para mas de 30 expositores. Agradecemos especialmente al Consejo Nacional de las Artes y la Cultura en Cinematografía (cnacc), por haberle apostado al bam de manera significativa todos estos años. Resaltamos el apoyo de nuestros socios oficiales - la antv, Caracol, Cine Colombia, y bmw-, al igual que los aliados que nos continúan acompañando - Embajada de Francia en Colombia, sena, idartes, Invest in Bogotá, Ministerio de Cultura, Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones, procolombia, Universidad Central, Javeriana y Jorge Tadeo Lozano; y a muchos otros que se suman a este gran esfuerzo por fortalecer la industria audiovisual colombiana.

Poncho is a serial killer, a hairstylist, and the leader of a gang named “Los 13.” He was shot seven times, and now needs crutches to get around. In his neighborhood, life goes by amidst cycles of violence. Wars are caused by invisible borders—imaginary lines separating the territories claimed by each gang. Poncho’s invisible border lies at the entrance to his home: his barbershop. He refuses to cross that line, fearing the consequences of his past. This is where we will observe Poncho´s dual personality, as a hairstylist and as a bandit: his dilemma between good and evil. The price of a bullet is 4,000 pesos, the same as a haircut. It was extremely hard for him to survive in this violent environment, but his physical condition forces him, for the first time, to look for a way out and to cross that invisible border. Will he be able to leave his banditry and power behind? COMPANY PROFILE Casatarántula is a Colombian film production company specialized in author-driven documentaries. It com-

Compassion arising out of observation is perhaps one of the most beautiful and generous feelings toward other human beings, and realizing what it takes to live under such harsh conditions is the first step toward achieving peace and reconciliation.

Ana works at a fancy hotel and is saving up for her wedding, which is scheduled to take place in two weeks. Her wedding dress ends up getting ruined on the same day she finally saves up enough to pay for it. Disappointed, she goes back to her job, and while cleaning one of the rooms, she finds the wedding dress she always dreamed of, which belongs to one of the guests. She yields to temptation and tries it on, but she gets caught by Lucia, the dress’s owner, who threatens to turn her in. Ana makes the wrong decision and escapes while wearing the dress, and she decides she has to get married that same day. She goes to her fiancé and tells him her idea, and although he has his doubts, he agrees. Ana must find a church, get her mother’s approval, and organize the wedding, all while she becomes a media sensation and is wanted by the police, the hotel’s security, and the owner of the dress.
Ana is determined to marry her boyfriend, but to do so, the dress she always dreamed of won’t be enough. During her escapades, she will be reunited with an old flame and find a chance to get back to the important things in life and make the right choices.
During her escapades, Ana is reunited with her old flame, Rodrigo, and finds a chance to make the right decisions in her life from now on.

Camila (10) has a unique wish: She wants her parents to get divorced. On school holidays, they take her to the home of her maternal grandmother, Gladys (79). Camila is happy to spend time away from her parents’ violent relationship, but unexpectedly, she finds herself in the middle of a matrilineal family where submissiveness and fear are the colors of women. At her grandmother’s, she witnesses the complex world of her aunts Nancy (40) and Clara (49), tormented by a curse that was cast on the family long ago, which they blame for their own misery and fear. While Nancy struggles through a stormy relationship, Clara remains faithful to a man of her past and hides her frustration in Christian devotion. During her stay, Camila has an early coming of age experience and finds her first love, Julián (12). She struggles with being part of her cursed family and finally understands that curses don’t exist. COMPANY PROFILE We are an independent film production company based

“The Soul’s Fluttering” comes from here. From the exact moment when I looked inside my family and its history, in the context of the patriarchal society that has colored our lives with pain and repression. Ten-year-old Camila is the window through which we see the unstable daily life of this family. This point of view, without any moral judgments or critique, allows us to be part of these women’s delusions and opens a small window for us, through which we can peek out without forgetting where we are standing.

Matías, my 6-year-old son, has argued with his best friend on political issues. He tells me this on the way to the polling station. Matías tells me he would like to vote “Yes” because Colombia’s armed conflict killed his great-grandfather. We never met him, nor did my father. We travel to Chaparral with my father and two of his brothers. Images of a happy childhood in the countryside. The peace ended when war reached them, and they fled the farm. One day, my grandfather Daniel was beheaded in front of his son José (nine by then). Images of fear and horror. Telling a small child what war is, how unfair it is. Since then, the men of the family have felt the pull of violence: José joined the army, a cousin’s son joined the paramilitary forces, and two cousins were imprisoned for homicide. I want every son to understand that weapons bring nothing but pain, so the wrong paths won’t be followed again.
I accompany my son Matias (6) to explore our family tree, to understand our family’s history and the history of the war that has torn apart the lives of four generations of Colombian families over the past 60 years. A memory passed from fathers to sons, in cartoons.
My father achieved a life of his own, not the life he saw around him. That’s the hope for all of us, and for Colombia. COMPANY PROFILE Combining new digital technologies with our in-depth knowledge of film, we offer world-class film post-production services.

In the 1980s, the couple Bernardo and Juliana, along with their friend Piña, are partners at the production house Búfalo Dorado. Their company was founded with film aspirations, but now, on the brink of bankruptcy, it has been reduced to making videos of sweet sixteen parties, weddings, and political campaigns. At a town on Colombia’s eastern plains, they meet Jáder Roca, an eccentric man who is financing a candidate for whom their company is making a campaign video. Roca ends up offering them a massive contract that could provide the solution to the company’s financial woes: to produce a movie for the emerging, unknown, and obscure Colombian porn industry. The three partners embark on the adventure without really knowing what to do, unaware that everything could end in a debacle. COMPANY PROFILE Akira Cine was created by Diana Revelo and Pablo Fleh-

This black comedy on making a porn movie to overcome these obstacles, especially economic obstacles, is set in the 1980s, a time when drug trafficking and corruption ruled Colombia. Three partners make up the production company El Búfalo Dorado, but their financial situation forces the company to film social events to survive.

Once a homeless transgender prostitute, Diana fights to legalize sex work in Santa Fe, a formerly wealthy neighborhood. Walking the dark, invisible passages hidden behind Bogota’s bright neon lights, this daring transgender woman becomes a crucial catalyst for the social and urban planning experiment called the “High Impact Area.” In the meantime, Diana struggles with the issues transgender people confront daily: isolation, emotional harassment, and threats. However, Diana does not fear controversy and earns the ire of residents who oppose sex work in the once family-friendly neighborhood of wealthy Jewish immigrants. She oversees the transformation of the neighborhood into not only a place where sex workers’ rights are recognized, but a destination for impoverished refugees, former paramilitary fighters, and former guerrillas from all corners of Colombia. Despite an increase in crime, Diana defends her creation, currently under threat. COMPANY PROFILE
Diana, a homeless transgender prostitute, becomes a fearless political leader, turning an exquisite neighborhood into a haven for sex workers displaced by Colombia’s armed conflict.

Year 2022. In a corrupt Latin American country, Manuel González, a journalist of Palestinian ancestry, becomes the only opposition to the right-wing government.

In exchange for his brother’s freedom, the journalist must make the country believe that a revolution and an uprising against the government are urgently needed.

“Waiting for Peace” is the story of a unit of farc guerrilla fighters during the uncertain transition from war to peace. The troops are led by Commander Walter, who now, in his 50s and having lived through the horrors of war, hopes that the government will hold up its end of the bargain. Hidden deep in the jungles of Colombia, their camp is a place of order and communism. However, the promise of peace has given rise to dilemmas in the guerrilla’s hearts. These men and women are struggling to cope with the end of a war that has given them purpose and identity. With the arrival of a new political situation, the guerrillas are divided between the trauma of their past and the fear of future rejection. What at first glance seems to be an immaculate paradise gradually turns into a natural cage. “Waiting for Peace” features testimonies, given in the context of daily life, and spontaneous conversations with a group of combatants who for the most part barely remember life outside of war.

Colombia’s Pacific coast region lacks public health services and has been afflicted by poverty and government corruption. Providing health care is difficult, because the only way to get to some areas is by river. But more than 20 years ago, the doctor Emiro Gonzalez devised a way to reach these areas by turning a boat into a floating hospital. The boat was called La Esperanza and it sailed on more than 180 trips with doctors, gynecologists, pediatricians, and dentists along a 1,400 kilometer coastline. In 2013, La Esperanza ran aground with all of its medical equipment. For two years, Emiro was unable to rescue it from the rust, and it finally sank. In 2008, Diego Posso and Ana Lucía López founded the San Raffaele, a hospital ship that for four years navigated the Pacific coast. However, due to financial prob-

In Colombia in the seventies, my father was involved in insurgent movements. He firmly believed that the world had to be changed from the roots. My mother followed him and we lived in the underground, hiding our identities, living a silent childhood. My brothers and I grew up with war as our intimate companions, seeing the rise and fall of the revolutionary dream, witnessing the emergence of drug trafficking, and experiencing extreme violence, death, fear, uneasiness, and childhood nightmares. We became the people who today tell the story of our feelings. We are human rights defenders, peace activists, and pained victims who wonder whether to accept the forgiveness that the killers ask of us today.

A group of middle-class friends in their thirties meet for a weekend out of the city to celebrate their lasting high school friendship, leave all their responsibilities behind, and enjoy the freedom of their youth, which seems to be coming to an end. As time goes by, their laughs give way to the secrets and wounds of the past. Harmful dynamics arise as they return to old habits, pretend to have a successful life, and accept certain abusive behaviors as normal. After a few drinks and a nighttime party, abusive behavior within the group spins out of control and chaos takes over their trip. These so-called friends will have to accept that they aren’t the same as before. They will have to face the fact that the camaraderie between them—what seemed to be their close friendship—is actually a toxic connection that has marked them deeply and won’t be easy to escape.

“Jaguar: The Last Shaman” is a family-oriented animated film with a fantasy edge in the vein of “The Jungle Book.” It tells the story of a reluctant young shaman who must find his inner magic in order to save his world and his people from the evil plans of a powerful sorcerer. Jiwa’s grandfather, the shaman of the tribe, realizes that he will soon die. He must now rush to train Jiwa in the arts of shamanism and sends him off to the Cave of Wisdom, where he will be enlightened and learn to transform himself into the all-powerful jaguar. On his way, Jiwa meets two unusual allies: the confident heir to a rival shaman and Amu, his feisty spirit guardian. Complications arise when Amu takes Jiwa into the wrong cave. Later, evil Obe destroys the village and kills the boy’s grandfather, the shaman. In the end, Jiwa learns how to transform himself into the jaguar. But this alone will not be enough, because Obe has a dirty trick up his sleeves. COMPANY PROFILE
A reluctant young shaman must discover his inner magic in order to save his people, his spirit guardian, and an explorer’s daughter from the evil plans of a powerful sorcerer. 40

Puerto Berrio, 2002. A huge river flows under the rusty bridge of the Antioquia Railway. Anglers notice something floating downriver: a body. They follow it and discover that the body has no head. They bury it as another nameless dead person. At this port city, people have started to adopt the bodies. They take the dead as if they were their own, and calm their grief from the loss of their own family members by protecting unclaimed bodies. The cemetery is filled with colorful tombstones, marked with the word “chosen” to let others know that these dead already have a new family. However, the locals fear the “headless man”; they know that powerful armed groups have forbidden any contact with dismembered bodies. The Animero, the man who takes care out the souls in the cemetery, approaches the grave. He prays and marks the grave: “chosen.” He adopts the beheaded man. It is a covenant
In Puerto Berrio, all the nameless dead who float down the river are adopted, except one: the man with no head. A mysterious man will travel through hell to recover his head and give the body back its dignity.

I’m in an Afro-Colombian community that has been violently displaced during the armed conflict. A school invaded by the tropical forests in Mampuján transports me to the 80s when I lived in Lesotho, a country totally surrounded by South Africa. As an adult, in post-conflict Colombia, I live a situation similar to that of my childhood, when I witnessed the last years of the apartheid regime. Specific moments in Colombia are intertwined with a memory of my childhood. The houses abandoned in this town are at the mercy of oblivion. I visit a group of women looking to conserve memory. The weavers of Mampuján sew pieces forming a large tapestry of collective memory. In addition, they also weave their more distant past: free Africa. Colombia, South Africa, and Lesotho move closer together through the weaving. There is no symbolic photo of the end of the Colombian conflict, there is no

This is the story of Jaan, a 12-year-old boy who runs away from home looking for his dad at the Cartagena film festival in 1995. Jaan only knows his dad, an Estonian actor, through a movie filmed in Cartagena in the 80s. When Jaan learns that his father is going to attend the festival, he decides to go find him and prove to everyone, but especially to himself, that his father’s story is true. But his route changes radically from the moment the bus leaves him stranded at the first stop, where he meets Maria Libertad, a 15-year-old girl who decides to go with him to Cartagena to escape a past that pursues her. The two go through all sorts of misadventures that force them to confront themselves and to discover that they are just a couple of children looking for a place where they feel at home.
This is the story of Jaan, a 12 yearold boy who escapes from his home in Bogota to find his father —who he only knows through a movie— at the Cartagena film festival in 1995.

When their mother moves to live with her new boyfriend, Simon (15) and his brother Federico (17) see dramatic improvements in their social lives. At their new school, they meet the beautiful Laura, and Simon immediately falls in love. But Federico manages to seduce her first and sleeps with her at a party. Only a few minutes later, Federico dies after inexplicably falling from the apartment’s balcony. While his mother suffers from the loss of Federico and struggles with her inability to find out the truth, Simon begins to behave like his dead brother. He even seems to find a haven in Laura, who he starts dating. COMPANY PROFILE Evidencia Films is a Colombian production company focusing on bold, intimate art house films.

Nikó is a shy 11-year-old girl who draws incessantly in response to the low value placed on women in her community. She creates fantasy worlds and draws journeys through the universe, always featuring her hero the great Juan Tama, a legend of the Nasa indigenous people. Her fantasies seem to have no place in the village. Only Halka, her mother, believes in Nikó’s dreams. One afternoon, all her imaginary worlds will come together to ask for her help, because the balance of nature is in danger. The drawings in her notebook become real: Maki and Meg (Squirrel and Dragonfly) tell her that the moon has hidden. From then on, the rains won’t stop, threatening to flood the forest. Nikó will follow the example of Juan Tama, the hero of all her stories, and travel to the Moon to ask him to come and stop the rain. To do this, Nikó must pilot the ship that the animals of the forest have created based on the drawings in her notebook.

My father (64), a Colombian union leader, was nearly murdered in 2014. He took refuge in Spain and returned to Colombia in 2015, but to protect his life he didn’t return to Cartagena, where he used to live and where the attack occurred. He now lives with me in Bogota. He goes everywhere with bodyguards and is afraid to walk alone or at night. Nevertheless, he is attempting to find meaning in his life again, attending meetings of the trade union and helping informal street vendors to organize. But he’s far away from the rest of the family, and in a city where he doesn’t feel comfortable. This isn’t his first exile; in the eighties, as a leader of the Patriotic Union Party, he received threats. The present opens doors to the past: speeches, marches, and the violence against social leaders are a carbon copy of what has gone before. I talk to my dad; I share some of his ideals, but I feel the present moving further and further away from them. We have to keep going, but what dream can possibly move us as a society today?
What are the reasons for killing a man? My father, a union leader, was nearly murdered in 2014. For the first time as an adult I am living with him and I wonder about the meaning of his struggle, now that his dreams seem to have failed.

They have decided to take the day off, and their only goal is to have an awesome time. Both friends ditch school and embark on a journey through the streets of Bogota: eating empanadas, insulting cops, flirting with university students, and fighting yuppies. However, neither of them is ready for their worst nightmare: as they wander through the city, they are mugged. Their money, cell phones, and their two precious tickets to that night’s concert are stolen. What nobody knew, not even our two heroes, was that the roaring guitars, the thundering drums, and the powerful screams of the “beast” would forge a musical revo-

Antonio Caro was identified as an icon of conceptualism in Latin America when he accidentally flooded the Artists National Hall in 1970. Since then, Caro kept buzzing. Toothless, skinny, disheveled, shabby, asking strange questions, giving stranger answers, he does not go unnoticed. Caro is very private, but he invited us into his private life. We will document what occurs far away from the museums, the galleries, the art catalogues. The guiding thread will be his travels: preparations, journeys, places, and encounters. We will shoot in Colombia, Mexico, and Paris. We won’t focus on his art, but on the adventures and contrasts he will experience during his travels. Caro guides his life by both horoscopes and routines. His travels will reveal a man who is unprepared for improvisation, and finds a way to repeat himself wherever he is. The assumption is that Caro is as serial, repeatable, and authentic as his artwork: he is the best of his works of art.
An unprecedented tale of the controversial Colombian conceptual artist Antonio Caro, away from the cameras and the public, through his conversations, encounters, habits, trips, and his peculiar view of the world. 56

In a dark, old prison, the prisoners attain their freedom by serving society: they must produce 20,000 electric light bulbs on stationary bicycles and purify rainwater. Raúl, a 74-year-old musician, serves the community on one of the old bicycles, but three inmates’ attempt to escape, and a hopeless prison system, make him lose the 16,000 light bulbs he has accumulated so far. His only option is to pedal in the annual stationary bike race, in order to be set free before his wife dies and achieve the true freedom that he longs for: forgiveness. COMPANY PROFILE Máquina Espía is led by two filmmakers with degrees from the University of Medellin, Ángela Tobón Ospina and Juan David Gil Palacio.

Bogota, 1950s. Letters arrive to Bogota with testimonies of protests in the northwestern province of Choco. The young Gabriel Garcia Marquez is working at the newspaper El Espectador as a reporter. Guillermo Cano, the director of the paper, sends him to Quibdo, the capital of the province, to cover a mass protest against the impending elimination of the province as an administrative unit. Garcia Marquez travels and arrives at a desolate Quibdo, with nobody in the streets. Finally, he finds an unenthusiastic gentleman who tells him that there are no protests. Garcia Marquez is overwhelmed by the situation and asks the man to help him create a protest, because otherwise he won’t have any news to tell. The two organize protests and at first, people simply put on an act. But as the days and hours go by, people begin to truly become their characters. The news is spreading across the country, and a massive crowd comes out to give an entertaining turn and surprise to the political and social situation.

Naples, Italy. 1991. Emídio Tagliavini is the son of an immigrant from Naples, Italy, who died fighting alongside Fidel Castro during the Cuban revolution. Now that world communism is melting away like ice, he fearfully observes the fate of his beloved island. Years ago, he established a regime of actually existing socialism in his own home, writing to Fidel and receiving Castro’s support and encouragement to continue with his small fight in the heart of empire. Against the odds, Fidel’s regime resisted the fall of the Soviet Union, and fifteen years later, Emídio’s family continues with a rationalized use of its property. It is only when Emídio’s faithful, beloved wife Elena dies that his balancing act falls apart, revealing his underlying madness and three decades of delicate lies. COMPANY PROFILE Cayeye Films is a Colombian film production company, founded in 2008.
In Naples, Italy, Emídio Tagliavini maintains a correspondence with Fidel Castro, thanks to his father’s participation in the Cuban revolution. After his wife’s death, Emídio finds out that he has lived in a world of lies for over 30 years.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE Naples is a live theater for unbelievable stories. Just like Havana. These two cities are the silent, wrinkled protagonists of “Dear Fidel.” They are two worlds that do not know each other, but that end up belonging to each other.

In 1698, Scotland failed in its attempt to colonize the Darien Isthmus of Panama. Today, more than 317 years later, Olowaili Green, a young indigenous woman living in the city of Medellin in Colombia, wishes to travel to Scotland by way of the Darien, her ancestral home. She questions her roots and her father´s surname, and finds unexpected answers about herself. As an analogy, this documentary reveals the bureaucratic processes and financial barriers faced by a Latin American indigenous woman seeking to reach the uk, in comparison with the difficulties of the Scottish journey at the end of the 17th century. This multidirectional film of history and identity will be told through Olowaili’s personal experiences. COMPANY PROFILE We offer audiovisual projects, production, production services, and general advice for third parties involved in films to be shot in Colombia.

Titi, Carlitos 16, Betún and Donatello, a gang of boys ages 8 to 12, work at the traffic lights in Bogota. The sewer-dwellers known as the moles are being burnt to death while they sleep underground. They leave for a town in a rural area, where they dream they will find safety. They sadly discover that it, too, has been burnt down. The moles go back to Bogota, and Titi argues with Donatello and runs away. Carlitos 16, Betún, and Donatello are burnt inside the sewer where they live. The next day Titi goes back and discovers what has happened. Titi starts over with La Ratona (15). La Ratona welcomes Titi and offers him a new cardboard shelter. Apparently Donatello, Carlitos 16, and Betún have stayed on Earth and haven’t realized they have died. They are Titi’s inseparable companions, but he seems to

Marta has not seen her brother in three years. She knows she will probably never see him again. He is serving a life sentence in China. A year ago, Diana travelled to the other side of the world in order to visit her father in a jail in Shanghai, after he was sentenced to life in prison. Miriam was desperate when she left for China, without speaking the language or culture, just so she could see her imprisoned husband and son for half an hour each month. These three women represent the dramatic situation faced by the families of the 150 Colombians imprisoned in China for drug trafficking. In a country where prison sentences are determined by the purity of the cocaine, a few grams can mean life in prison or a death sentence. We follow the story of three brave women who maintain their hope of seeing their loves ones return home.
The families of four Colombians who are imprisoned in China desperately try to advocate for their loved ones. They face a system that isolates their family members and condemns them to life in prison or a death far from home. 68

In 2010, the Bogota city government closed all the places where sex workers did their work. Over seven years, four women involved in this conflict tell the story of their present and their uncertain future. We get to know the women beyond their work, and discover their four different ways of seeing prostitution. For Esperanza, a 70-year-old woman, loneliness is her self-inflicted punishment for her 50 years of working the streets. She is a maternal, Catholic woman and is now in a relationship with one of her clients. Patricia has never had another job. Her life revolves around her relationship with her new boyfriend and her search for a future for her children that is different from her own life; she is the daughter of violent, hopeless surroundings. Luisa, 33 years old, is currently a prostitute and is a born leader. She seeks to improve the lives of the people doing sex work; her story is a cure for heartbreak. Estela decides to take on the name “Lili” in order to leave behind her difficult past. For her, prostitution is a way to be free and independent in her new identity; she longs to be an actress.

Jairo Pinilla is the most controversial film director in the history of Colombian cinema. He was a pioneer and is a leading exponent of B horror movies in our country. Now, after more than a decade in obscurity, at 73 years old, he is going to try to rekindle his career with his latest film, “The Shadow of Death,” the first 3D horror movie in Colombia. During the making of his film, we see how reality and fiction intertwine to turn his life into his own living hell.

“The Beat” is a journey into Colombia’s independent music scene. It is the tale of a movement being born out of our own curiosity about ourselves. It is a shared, cross-cultural history, with identity, rebellion, and creativity as its main characters. The series fosters encounters between two musical worlds: contemporary urban bands and the traditional masters who have preserved their music over the years. In each episode, a band brings us into the urban music scene, while inviting us into its creative process through sound, narrative, and all of our senses. Along a parallel track, a traditional master guides us to the rural roots of his or her music. Storytelling, memory, and musical references are essential pieces in telling our stories. The two universes come together in a dialogue between bands and masters, which culminates in an original musical collaboration that is the trademark of the series.

Jack Vargas, a well-known YouTuber, drives with a different public figure each episode in the passenger seat of his Renault 12. While travelling through the region where the featured individual comes from, the two talk about the person’s impact on society. Each new episode highlights not only a creative profession, but the part of the country where our guest is from. In every episode, we discuss the passenger’s profession (acting, music, soccer, urban art, books, etc.) and focus on a theme that is close to his or her heart. For example, with Catalina García of the band Mr Periné as our passenger, the pair talk about her commitment to environmental projects while the car travels across her home province, Valle del Cauca. Or, for example, we drive across the Amazonas province while chatting with passenger Luz Elena Vásquez about her role in the preservation of Amazonian culture with the dance group Nuevas Estampas.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE Our chosen form of expression is animation because it offers infinite possibilities with a children’s audience. In animation, everything is possible. It is the best possible way to travel through instruments and music, without limits. Creating content for children is a challenge for us as audiovisual professionals, because children are much more open, imaginative, and free of prejudices.

This documentary series provides a close-up look at the reintegration of guerrillas into civilian life. Young people who have lived more than half of their lives in the jungle will have to deal with inner conflicts in this new stage of their lives. They are deeply committed to continuing to work together as a movement, with their shared socialist ideals and vocation for helping people in need. But will they be able to remain united in civilian life? Will they be able to resist the temptations of a capitalist system that will lead them to think selfishly about their lives? Throughout the series, we will seek to answer these questions by living alongside our characters. “Borderline” will strive to humanize the characters and remove the label of “guerrillas” that makes us view them as almost foreign beings, so we can learn to see them and feel empathy for them as Colombians. Their fears, dreams, and expectations will be the driving force behind this story, which seeks to break through the

Sometimes you have to fall very low to understand where you really stand. In “Gravity 1,” through a science fiction and adventure story, we talk about reconciliation, forgiveness, adaptation, and peace in difficult times. A war is being waged in space, in mining communities that live in the remains of the moon. Meanwhile, on Earth, the war is far away, strange, and misunderstood. All sides of the conflict have been beaten down by the war, which has lasted for decades, and some combatants have begun returning to Earth. The first thing they feel is the weight; in space, there’s no gravity, but on Earth, every step is an effort. COMPANY PROFILE At Hierro, we love images, animation, and storytelling.

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented mass extinction of species. Human beings’ impact on the beings we share the earth with has been more devastating than the meteorites that killed off the dinosaurs. In the face of this unfortunate reality, a group of researchers and filmmakers have dedicated their lives to the conservation of environmental diversity. Now, to achieve their goal, they have decided to get in front of the cameras and become YouTubers. Reporting from locations ranging from cities, where nature often goes unnoticed, to the most remote, inaccessible caves and deep oceans, the Greentubers will reveal how the planet is being transformed and will spotlight the enormous wealth, knowledge, and technology represented by South American biodiversity. COMPANY PROFILE We are an audiovisual production company promoting the conservation of environmental and cultural diversity of South America through audiovisual art.

Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the cosmos, from the earliest civilizations up to the present. In an encounter between past and future, the series travels across Latin America to discover the secrets of ancient temples devoted to the stars. Together with renowned scientists, we visit the world’s largest astronomical observatories and discover their cutting-edge technology. This journey will show us how the cosmos inspired—and continues to inspire—humanity and the arts. Knowing the Universe is knowing ourselves.

An ufo with two extraterrestrials, Rita and Hanx, travels through space looking for evidence of other forms of intelligent life. It suddenly breaks down and is forced to land in the equatorial zone of planet Earth. In the midst of their attempt to repair the spaceship and resume their mission, Rita is separated from Hanx and gets lost somewhere in Colombia, a land that has proclaimed itself to be “the happiest country on earth.” One episode after another, Rita tirelessly searches for a way to reconnect with her partner Hanx so they can return home to their far-away galaxy. In the meantime, she struggles to survive in a society whose way of life seems completely absurd to her. She finds a new friend, René, a Colombian earthling who seems like more of an et than herself, and they becomes inseparable friends.

Daira Quiñonez, a singer from the city of Tumaco, has not been deterred by the many threats on her life, or by the murder of her loved ones. She was forcibly displaced from her home on the Colombian Pacific coast and is now making a new home for herself in Bogota, despite the enormous differences between Tumaco and this sprawling mega-city. She fights for the survival and unity of women like herself, who share the same songs and traditional wisdom, and she takes up the challenge of building the resilience they need after their wartime experiences. Daira is one of the strong women we meet in this documentary series, which features the invisible stories of leaders who have found in art a way to heal the pain left by war. These women act as sturdy trees in their communities and provide shelter for other victims of Colombia’s armed conflict, who follow their example of mending the social fabric through art. The series profiles these powerful women, who are examples to follow in building peace. They are the Healing Women. COMPANY PROFILE Cintadhesiva Comunicaciones was founded in Cali en

Arturo is our host in discovering (not describing) in the streets what it means to be Colombian, with participation by everyday people (collective creation). In this search, this is no single right answer, and no one has the last word. Our goal is to look beyond the verve and vivacity so often attributed to us as Colombians. Arturo is at times a guest, at times a star, and at times an onlooker. But he is always experiencing the true meaning of being Colombia, found in every corner of the country. The themes are multidisciplinary, and people can ask Arturo to link together the many stories and experiences that arise out of this process of collective creation for multiple platforms. Arturo is always accompanied by a puppet, who plays the part of many different characters. Sometimes it’s an animal, other times it’s a plant, and at times it’s a fictional character. As we go through the episodes, we’ll leave clues to reveal its true identity: Arturo’s alter ego. COMPANY PROFILE
The title, a play on words, implies searching and collective creation. In its full form, it’s an expression meaning “What is there to do?” But if we shorten it, as in the title, it means “What can we be?”

My desire to understand how Colombia became a modern country through education was one of my main reasons for examining the arrival of modernity to the country.

Three siblings (Angie, Sebastian, and Sofia) are the stars of this outlandish show. The siblings face a series of challenges as they learn about their own sexuality and the many ways of experiencing this important part of their lives. “Manolo’s Show” is hosted by an irreverent character who is capable of turning their hilarious choices into a possible future. The siblings don’t fully think through their decisions and assume that they have accurate information, but they quickly understand that the potential consequences of their choices could lead them into crazy situations or major trouble. COMPANY PROFILE We create, design, and produce animated short films, TV series, and feature films. One of our main talents is to create emotions while communicating complex ideas, helping companies connect with their target audiences through animated stories. We use 3D animation, 2D animation, and motion comic to achieve this. Our strengths also include storytelling, audiovisual narrative, and exceptional technical and artistic quality. DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Colombia, buys the virginity of Angela, a 13-year-old peasant girl, a practice that was widely accepted in society at the time. Angela becomes just another worker on the plantation, performing domestic work while also satisfying Calixto’s sexual desires. When Angela gets pregnant, Calixto’s mother Carmen takes charge of raising the baby and sends Angela back to her home. Calixto finds out and sends his right-hand man Juan to find Angela, and Juan brings her back to the plantation. When Colombian political leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán is murdered and widespread violence breaks out in Colombia, Angela, Juan, and his wife Petrona flee by river to the town of Lorica. Carmen arranges for Calixto to marry the daughter of a powerful landowner, but to get out of the marriage, Calixto decides to marry Angela, condemning her to a life of bitterness until the end of her days.

Former local urban dance champions, they now concentrate on merely surviving, time and again attempting to escape their hard reality. This all changes when they hear the national Urban Dance Championship is to take place in their town. Defying violence and despair, they rise again in warrior style, rediscovering their alter egos and self-worth in the sounds of the Pacific and Latin hip hop beats. As the championship progresses, their poverty will prove to be their biggest obstacle and they’ll have to choose between violence or dance, bullets or rhymes.

Cristobal, a shy unemployed 24-year-old, starts to line up the night before because his mother wants the cooker so badly. He thinks he’s at the beginning of the line, but we discover he’s actually in the middle of it. Two thousand cookers were to be delivered nationwide, but in Cartagena alone, 12,000 people were in line at the break of day. The story portrays the birth of a community within the line. Cristobal will make his way back and forth along the line, discovering the hopes and fears of those around him. Little by little, people realize they won’t get the cooker, and a major riot breaks out. Cristobal is badly beaten and his clothes are bloodied, but he smiles as he runs hand-in-hand with a group of strangers, while the city is torn to pieces behind him.

Their contrasting personal stories are driven by violence but also by resilient happiness, a love for dancing, and friendship. Nikol dreams of travelling to the US to visit her boyfriend, but is afraid that her visa will be denied. Erika remembers her dead parents while worrying about her son’s future. Valentina wants to get out of poverty, and a trip to Turkey seems her only way out. Their days go by among dreams that crumble and new ones that arise to take their place, as they wait for the chance to become somebody. Through the stories of these three women, we explore hope, the struggle between dreams and reality, and our ability to overcome our own limits.

Displaced several times; his children recruited by the armies of war; his wife Anita, who died of sadness. Outside of the system, yet a victim of the system, Ciro has led an anonymous heroic struggle to live his life on his own terms. Through Ciro’s story, it is possible to understand Colombia’s history. Ciro is a prime witness, on the ground, of a war that seems distant and confusing. “Ciro & Me” recounts the journey of Ciro to meet his past, in a quest to reconstruct his life and build a future for himself and his son. Ciro’s is a journey into memory, seeking to give words to sorrow, a journey to recover his dignity.
