Throughout this month of August, the Bogotá Cineautopsia Experimental Film Festival takes place.
It will be its seventh edition of this event organized by the Cinelibertad Arte Audiovisual Foundation, whose essential mission is to offer the public a diversity of creations around narrative, technical and conceptual experimentation in the audiovisual, and which is carried out in a hybrid format.
In person, the programming can be seen in alternate movie theaters and other cultural spaces in the city such as La Cinemateca de Bogotá, the Carlos E. Restrepo public library, Paradero Paralibro Paraparque Eduardo Santos and El Castillo de las Artes. Similarly, the programming will also be available on the festival’s website.
The programming comes after a curatorial process of 1,061 audiovisual productions, of which 179 from 45 countries made from 2019 were selected, under the conceptual axis for 2021 Aesthetics and Practices of Freedom, which reflects on the reconfiguration of freedoms personal and collective due to the current situation. Some of the guests are Jorge Lozano Lorza, a painter and filmmaker from Cali living in Canada since 1971, of whom a retrospective will be presented, and Alexandra Gelis.
The films are screened in the sections On the body and its contemporary dimensions, Audiovisual anomalies, Agency freedom, Rhythms, vibrations and natural movements, Landscapes in abstract times, Images of memory, among others. Additionally, the public can enjoy laboratories, talks and meetings.
Similarly, CineToro presents the binational editorial project Écfrasis Colombia – Brasil, Cine Experimental y Poesía, which establishes an exchange in which twenty high-quality experimental films from each country (40 short films in total) were reinterpreted by an equal number of poets. .
The cycle will be presented at the Bogotá Cinematheque on August 6, 12, 13 and 15 and will include the productions Blua (2020) by Carolina Charry; Sisisisisisisisisisi (2011) by Juan Camilo González; Iron Road (2009) by Jorge Giraldo; Venus – Filó la fairy tortillera (2017) by Savio Leite; Fragmentos de personalidade (2018) by Thaylaee Cristin; and Doze (2020) by Clara Tempone.
