Un tigre de papel The life of Pedro Manrique Figueroa, precursor of the collage in Columbia, has not been chronicled by anybody for a very powerful reason: it is too similar to an adventure novel: incomplete, contradictory, and always tied to the incertitudes of oral tradition. Using the life and work of Manrique Figueroa as a pretext, this film traces the history of Colombia from 1934 to 1981, year of the artist?s mysterious dissapearance. Like a collage, Un tigre de papel juxtaposes art and politics, truth and lies, documentary and fiction See More
La Desazón Suprema: Retrato incesante de Fernando Vallejo La Desazón Suprema: Retrato incesante de Fernando Vallejo is a feature-length documentary about this controversial Colombian writer who lives in Mexico. Despite having directed three movies and published five autobiographies, Fernando Vallejo was practically unknown until the publication and later film adaptation of Our Lady of the Assassins, directed by Barbet Schroeder. By deciding to speak in the first person, without pretence, about his likes and dislikes, Vallejo breaks with an ingrained literary tradition: that of the omniscient narrator who sees and knows all.
