Colombian audiovisual experimentation is booming and the exhibition shows the highlights that artists have been developing, stimulated by global events such as the pandemic, police repression, and the awakening of consciousness to the understanding of the other and their bodies, it is clear the maturity that is developing in Colombian artists who create bridges between the world of film production and other artistic expressions.

84

Today in Colombia, the last peace agreement shatters to pieces and violence takes over the country. Two films shot in 1984, lost for more than thirty years, come to light together. 84 drags the viewer between fiction and documentary through this cursed reels, into a divided country, between cities and countryside, condemned by a dark omen of repetition.

Totem Song
Director: Walter Escamilla
Colombia, 2020, 4', HDD, color
No Dialogue
Totem Song is an experimental documentary film about street musicians in Europe. It parts from the idea of building an audiovisual mash-up combining and remixing different styles of beats, melodies, sounds and images that were recorded over my first trip to Europe in 2018. Here, totem is rhythm and melody. Totem are the patterns that people create over sound and movement while exploring the streets and holy places. As a visitor, for me these patterns represent the ritual of exposing oneself to European culture, absorbing all the richness in form and the infinite flow of human expression.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
