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

It All Started at the End

This is the self-portrait of the Grupo de Cali, also known as “Caliwood,” a group of friends and cinephiles who, amid the wild partying and historical chaos spanning from 1971 to 1991, managed to produce a body of work now considered a fundamental part of Colombia’s film history. It is also the clinical history of the filmmaker himself, who fell gravely ill during the production of the film.

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.
