It was our first time attending the Cartagena International Film Festival in Colombia, and it turned out to be a memorable experience.
Cartagena reminds us so much of the Philippines with its warm weather, music-and-film loving people, tropical fruits like mangoes, siniguelas, atis and papaya, as well as its tropical plants like sampaguitas.
Also present during the event were HFPA members Ruben V. Nepales from the Philippines and Barbaros Tapan from Turkey. Centro Ático's short film and WIP awardee was La Marcha del Hambre. The Ibero-American Documentary chosen for the Oscars was El Eco by Tatiana Huezo. Entre las sombras Arden Mundos was the Ibero-American short film selected for the Oscars.
Anyone from any social and economic condition, not to say race and belief, religion or whatever, who’s walking by and sees an empty seat in one of our screenings can just sit down and enjoy a film, can just walk in and enjoy a panel or a conference, can ask questions, and all of that. We're different because we have a very special emphasis on the community. We go to the neighborhoods, schools and public libraries.
For example, my daughter is 16 years old and she prefers to see Hollywood films. And it's difficult for her to go and watch a Colombian film and this is a huge problem. We carry that problem from the past but we have to work on that. Because we have good production values in the Colombian film industry and there are good stories.
