Known For
In northern Colombia, a group of queer activists use their extravagance to denounce the disastrous exploitation of the largest coal mine in Colombia through performative actions.
Flowers from Another Garden
Three places in which men meet, share a moment, filling the emptiness of Tbilissi's daily life. At the baths, at the barber's or in an empty house haunted by three swallows, speech flows in enclosed spaces. The director observes and captures the intimacy of the words, the obviousness of the gestures and the unexpectedness of the events. A metaphor for liberty, the absolute dream of contemporary Georgia.
The Three Swallows
Viviana and Yandris weave red and yellow yarn into bags. In the distance we hear the hammering of machines, the wail of sirens and the thunder of explosions.
The Jarariju Sisters
The tourist train runs along the quays around the Jet-d'eau of Geneva. A succession of historical facts appear. Two lines cross each other.
