Delegation Showcase: Five Colombian documentaries, five ways of holding on to memory
Delegation Showcase: Five Colombian documentaries, five ways of holding on to memory
Description

Films by people refusing to let go: of a son, of a father, of a land wounded by war, of a truth no one else wants to see. Moving between observation, reconstruction, imagination and memory, these five documentaries explore how cinema can preserve, give shape to what remains unseen, and open up new ways of understanding. They reflect a diversity of contemporary Colombian documentary filmmaking and the ways its stories can connect with audiences across borders, creating opportunities for international circulation, dialogue and collaboration.
