Yutupis

Yutupis begins with the filmmaker performing a ritual. It evokes images, memories, of a village in the Peruvian jungle. From logging and fishing during the day to dancing and drinking at night, we observe both superstition and a strong belief in God. We hear indigenous songs as well as reggaeton. People speak in their native language or in Spanish, depending on the situation. The influences of past and present times are clear: the 16th-century colonization initiated the intercultural mixing that is further amplified by ongoing globalization. Yutupis is a means of observing and, as such, of preserving. To observe is to preserve, whether on film or in the mind.

Yuli

Yuli is the nickname given to Carlos Acosta by his father, Pedro, who considers him the son of Ogun, an African god and a fighter. As a child Yuli avoids discipline and education, learning from the streets of an impoverished and abandoned Havana. His father, however, has other ideas, and knowing that his son has a natural talent for dance, sends him to the National Ballet School of Cuba. Despite his repeated escapes and initial poor behaviour, the boy is inevitably drawn to the world of dance, and begins to shape his legendary career from a young age, becoming the first black dancer to be cast in some of the most prestigious ballet roles, originally written for white dancers, in companies such as the Houston Ballet or the Royal Ballet in London.

The Possession of Michael King

The film tells the story of documentary filmmaker Michael King (Shane Johnson), who doesn’t believe in God or the Devil. Following the sudden death of his wife, Michael decides to make his next film about the search for the existence of the supernatural, making himself the center of the experiment – allowing demonologists, necromancers, and various practitioners of the occult to try the deepest and darkest spells and rituals they can find on him – in the hopes that when they fail, he’ll once and for all have proof that religion, spiritualism, and the paranormal are nothing more than myth. But something does happen. An evil and horrifying force has taken over Michael King. And it will not let him go.
