reconciliation stories
Calos Santa & Rubén Monroy / Caldas Symphony Orchestra
Colombia
Reconciliation Stories is a transmedia project that interprets the stories of some victims of violence in Colombia.
In its realization we have had the support and work of hundreds of artists -animators, musicians and researchers-, with whom we have built a 90-minute animated feature film using different techniques, directed by Carlos Santa and Rubén Monroy.
The soundtrack of Reconciliation Stories was composed by maestro Fabio Miguel Fuentes, performed by the Symphony Orchestra of the University of Caldas and conducted by maestro Leonardo Marulanda.
The web page that contains the interviews, related data as a complement to a transmedia narrative and an invitation to other artists to contribute their interpretation.
Reconciliation Stories has also been a comprehensive research project, whose purpose is for young talents to explore different techniques and narratives. The theme on which we have built has allowed our team to generate a closer relationship with what war, peace, reconciliation and violence mean for Colombia. Their contribution has been commitment to the protagonists of the stories, respect by their look and their conscience in front of their role as political subjects.
At the Image Festival you will be able to appreciate the live show of the Symphony Orchestra in dialogue with the animated stories. A dialogue and a catharsis in which art serves as a means for the construction of historical memory and symbolic repair.
