Shadows have no Face
Jhon James Gutierrez Ocampo / Colombia
Shadows Have No Face is a short film that tells a story of revenge to portray problems typical of the city of Pereira such as the phenomenon of 'drop by drop' lenders while weaving a plot that takes elements of thriller and neo- noir with a certain Creole flavor using characters from the urban coffee imaginary, with dialogues full of local expressions and using an atypical narrative for cinema from the Risaraldense region. Despite the fact that the short film appropriates noir, it is more than an exercise in
gender since it puts on the table issues of discussion such as the futility of violence, inequality and justice into one's own hands.
Shadows Have No Face is the winning project of the scholarship for the creation, co-production and circulation of fiction short films in the Sixth Municipal Call for Incentives of the Pereira Ministry of Culture.
It is produced by Bloody Shotgun Productions, a Pereiran audiovisual collective that since 2014 has made several fantastic and/or horror filmminutes and documentaries focused on alternative music, and co-produced by La Hermandad.
