Under Fire

Bajo Fuego depicts the unraveling of peace for a group of coca growing peasants in the southwest of Colombia. The film takes the perspective of the ‘cocaleros’ and over a period of 3 years shows how they survive in the midst of the most difficult circumstances. The government delays in fulfilling what it promised in the agreement, economic difficulties arise for families that substituted their coca trees, and the increasing presence of armed groups start to terrorise the region. The promised peace in Colombia turns out to be an illusion when the newly armed groups take control, assassinations occur, and the films’ main protagonists are being threatened with their lives and displaced. Even though peace was supposedly signed in Colombia, Bajo Fuego shows that for many in the southwest of Colombia the war continues.

New Neapolis

In a world where cities are becoming more important than countries, Rotterdam, Liverpool, Marseilles and Naples could form a 'cities gang'. All four are working class, multicultural and internationally oriented, and have been influenced significantly by urban planning and nineteenth-century and modernist urges to demolish. They share a clichéd sense of inferiority and often top 'the wrong charts'. They are currently undergoing an international re-evaluation, including ongoing processes of gentrification. Their shared characteristics could form the basis for a gang of cities capable of taking on the world. Or even showing the world how it could be done.

No Echo

This has been a tumultuous year for the world, with dramatic changes affecting me not only from the outside, but also from the inside. In the 20th year of my life, I put the idea of making a short film into practice for the first time, and I cut a short film from my fragmented phone footage to commemorate the passing of 2020. During the first half of the year, I spent my days at home in fear, and my desperate inward search caused a break in my relationship with the outside world. During the second half of the year, I was led by the camera to reacquaint myself with the world. I went to a music festival for the first time and attended my first funeral; I began to care about the people and things around me, and discovered landscapes I hadn't noticed in my life.

Patagonia: A Ride Into the Wild

Mark Beaumont and James Lowsley-Williams embark on an epic three-day cycling expedition through the wild and wonderful landscape of Patagonia. When first explored by Magellan in 1520, he named the land Patagonia which comes from Pentagon, the Portuguese for 'big feet', since tracks of the nomadic tribes of hunter gatherer's that he found were those of giants. Although any sign of giants has now rescinded, the home of Gaucho is big country with incredible landscapes and impressive volcanoes as far as the eye can see. James and Mark have a 300-kilometre route planned to take it all in.
