Looking for Venera

With three generations living under the same roof, and in the claustrophobia of a small village in Kosovo, Venera is a teenager with little privacy or space to live her life and explore her emotions. The discreet camera work brings intimacy to a story where growing up means making choices.

Los Conductos

The vibrant colours and the texture give an idiosyncratic beauty to a film whose main character lives haunted by violent memories that are revealed as we get to know him better. ‘Pinky’ has fled a cult linked to a transcendent figure, but now he is unable to reconcile the turbulence he feels. An individual journey that intertwines with the social and political panorama of Colombia.
