Colombia, Presente! III Dualities, chaos and poetics

Colombia, Presente! III

Dualities, chaos and poetics

Cinemaattic invites you to explore, once again, one of Latin America's most prolific short film producers through a programme that embraces the nation's contradictions and poetics in tension through classical short films and new voices.

Divided into two sections, the first presents short films that immerse us in poetic, often isolated worlds where conflicts seem internal and the external appears absent. In contrast, the second explores dualities—shorts where two worlds coexist in constant tension, allowing us to observe both at once, reflecting the societal, environmental, and emotional conflicts that define Colombia’s urban and non-urban landscapes, including jungle and countryside, and its cinematography.

Through these films, we are invited to reflect on love, peace, and dialogue amidst chaos and perfection, and on the country’s struggle to balance its natural richness with external pressures of extraction and exploitation.
