84

Experimental doc. | super8 | color | 13:22 | Colombia | 2020

Today in Colombia, the last peace agreement shatters to pieces and violence takes over the country. Two films shot in 1984, lost for more than thirty years, come to light together. 84 drags the viewer between fiction and documentary through this cursed reels, into a divided country, between cities and countryside, condemned by a dark omen of repetition and death.

Filmmaker and producer of documentary cinema, his work focuses on experimentation with film archives around the notions of history and memory in Colombia, questioning official truths against hidden accounts. He directed the shorts ELAN (2014), MEMORIES (2016) and 84 (2020), he is producer of the feature documentary The reasons of the wolf (2020). His documentary short AVALANCHA (2021) and his first feature Espejos Rotos (2021) are in post production stage.
