The Shape of Now

According to estimates around 200,000 people lost their lives in the 50-year Colombian civil war. Another 25,000 were kidnapped, many are still considered missing. When the peace deal between the government and the FARC rebels was made in November 2016, guns were banned from the conflict. But the country's population have since faced the almost impossible task of having to agree on a common past. "The Shape of Now" illuminates this strenuous process and thus Colombia's leaden present from very different perspectives.

Cuando respiro en tu boca. La creación de Peces

Santiago de Chile, 1994: financed by mysterious textile entrepreneurs, the rock band Lucybell enters the Sonus Studios to record their first album, by the hand of the famous Argentine producer Mario Breuer. The budget is enough for only eight days. Santiago de Chile, 2017: after being disappeared for twenty-three years, the videotapes with the chronicle of those eight days come to light. This was the creation of Peces, one of the most important Chilean records of the '90s.

La Mesa

Experimental exploration of memory, identity and queer desire. It recreates fragmented and romanticised stories of a childhood in rural Mexico as told by the filmmaker’s father. These disjointed vignettes are interwoven with queered reenactments of scenes from popular culture. The filmmaker casts himself in the old Mexican films and American Westerns he grew up watching with his family in California. He appears as the romantic lead opposite the male actors, including Pedro Infante, Mexican national hero and the filmmaker’s childhood crush. By centring queer desire in his family’s history, Garcia Gomez validates his childhood experiences while challenging popular representations of masculinity as well as traditional notions of power and vulnerability.
