Avalancha
Daniel Cortés / Colombia / 2023 / 25 min.
Synopsis: At first, there is only stillness, emptiness, a deep black where apparently there is nothing. From the silence, a movement begins to emerge, a vibration that gradually cracks, advancing without stopping while dragging with ever greater force earth, trees, towns, cities, people, in the form of images that like an AVALANCHE of light plunge us through a century of violence; nearly drowning, we feel bodies and landscapes that never stop dragging history along, nor stop sustaining a centuries-long mourning. This is not The History of Colombia, but a story of resistance etched in the images of assassinated leaders, of a people who mourn them and resist.
After the screening, a conversation will take place with Daniel Cortés, director of the film.
