The peace accords between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP marked a milestone in contemporary Colombian history. From these, our society would no longer be the same. Going through a broad sector that believes in this negotiation process and demands the implementation of the agreements, even by those who reject it and consider it a pact of impunity. Reaffirming the involvement of our country, in its broadest sense, in a profound process of truth, justice and memory. This dialogue reflects on the need to document the (post) conflict, its first consequences, the flesh and blood people and the work of the documentalist in said registry: the passage of a war that has gone through to the depths of being and peace emerging despite all kinds of obstacles.
Dialogue 5
THE MEN BEHIND THE CAMERA. NETHERLANDS FILM
Sections
October 28, 3:00 p.m. at 4.30 p.m. On-line.
Guests: Stefan Pavlović (Director of Looking for horses) and Guido Hendrikx (Director of A Man and a Camera).
Moderator: Juan Pablo Franky - Programmer 23 MIDBO
In this dialogue we are going to reflect about two of the most formally innovative films in the 23 MIDBO. Thematically they seem to have in common the loneliness that can be the trigger for solidarity and friendship or perhaps hide behind the documentary device to undertake the patient search for them. From apparently dissimilar places, such as the interior of the country or from an almost uninhabited island to which the roots of a lost language are to be sought, in these stories that move between the subjective and the ironic observation we do not see the face of any of the two directors, they as beings who film, are always the men behind the cameras.
Dialogue 6
LOOK AND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES
Sections
October 29th. 6:00 pm. at 7:30 p.m. On-line.
Guests: Theo Anthony (Director of All light, Everywhere), Alejandro Lanz (NGO Temblores) and Claudia Salamanca (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana)
Moderator: Maria Luna - Artistic Director 23 MIDBO
Regarding the most recent film by Theo Anthony, All light, everywhere (2021), this dialogue proposes a discussion around the film and the recent situations of police abuse in Colombia in relation to the scope of the images and the use of the video surveillance technologies. We wonder about freedom control devices and non-professional audiovisual records as truth clarification mechanisms.
Dialogue 7
POPULAR POWERS
Sections
November 1, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Onsite during the screening of the film at the Sala Capital - Cinemateca de Bogotá. + Online
Guests: Omar Rincón (FES Comunicaciones), Alejandro Martín (Curator of La Tertulia Museum), Veridiana Zurita (Director of Televizinho).
Moderator: Andrés Pedraza - Programmer 23 MIDBO
In Brazil, Televizinho is called who did not have television, but went to his neighbors' houses to watch it. Since 2016, Veridiana was the Televizinha of many homes along the Tupana River, she sat with the families to watch soap operas, to share her emotions, to laugh and cry in the heat of the daily broadcasts. Based on this film and in dialogue with its director, Omar Rincón and Alejandro Martín reflect on the importance of the popular, the presence of television and the transmediations that arise in this documentary. This talk is in turn our tribute to Jesús Martín Barbero in which we remember the value he found in soap operas as a place of research and again we evoke the teacher, the father and the friend who always invited us to think with our own heads.
