A black and white docufiction in which photo by photo we go through the thoughts of Daniél Nicolas, born in France, son of Chilean exiles who later returns to Chile and is invaded by a feeling of rootlessness. At first, we see him breaking into the sacralization of Chilean political institutions, then with his bare feet he presents a city at times silent, then crowded with people, lights and sounds of cars, a city with its own rhythm and he, drifting on a baluster, questions himself about whether or not he is part of that rhythm, he confronts himself and confronts us about politics, censorship and the feeling of belonging or not belonging. A void crosses us, identifies us, allows us to recognize ourselves. In the midst of this performance and video art, as the author calls it, it is impossible not to wonder: how do we delimit the territories we inhabit, how do we inhabit, uninhabit and re-signify them? Who creates the borders and what allows us to cross them and even erase them?

    84


    Colombia

    Today in Colombia the last peace agreement is falling apart and violence is taking over the country. Two films shot in 1984, lost in the same box for more than thirty years, come to light together. The film drags you between fiction and documentary, into a country divided into town and country, condemned by a dark omen of repetition.

    The Blue Point


    United States - Colombia

    "The Blue Dot" interweaves computational and ecological cosmologies between water and the Internet. The film connects the history of the Internet Archive in San Francisco, with the Library of Alexandria, space exploration, and digital infrastructure to propose reflections on the relationship between digital technology, archival history, and the cycles of the biosphere.
