2021

El Canto de las Moscas III – Noche – ¿Dormirán los asesinos? El violeta de una noche oscura, la marimba, que es su música dulce, se confunde con el miedo. Se ha terminado el largo día de la guerra, más la guerra continua. Las imágenes de archivo, las memorias de las artistas; y el uso recurrente de loops, dan vida a los paisajes arrasados por la violencia y construyen una polifonía de memoria y duelo, un canto universal del dolor.  La película traduce la desolación ocasionada por la violencia del conflicto armado colombiano, a través de la voz poética de Maria Mercedes Carranza y el diálogo audiovisual entre 9 artistas colombianas.

En el aeropuerto O’Hare de Chicago, Ana Laura se despide de sus hijos prometiendo que volverá en cuanto se resuelvan sus problemas de inmigración. En un barrio de Charlestone, Carolina del Sur, los Marshalls y los agentes del ICE llegan a la casa de Jesús con sólo una foto de su permiso de conducir. Tras ser sacado de su casa, esposado, tiene que soportar un largo proceso. A pesar de vivir indocumentados, ambos fueron “ciudadanos” ejemplares en EEUU durante más de 10 años: contribuyendo al país, a la comunidad, pagando impuestos. Sin embargo, sus esfuerzos no fueron reconocidos al carecer de documentos.

2021

Tras la reedición del “Libro Moral” (Alfonso Reyes, 1952) por parte de la actual Presidencia de México, un texto sin relevancia para el siglo actual y sin inclusión de las mujeres ni de los grupos no masculinos, un grupo de mujeres poetas realizó una reescritura lúdica de algunos de sus apartados a modo de manifiesto feminista, acogiendo nuestras voces en esta sociedad patriarcal. Posteriormente, se realizó este video poema, como un ejercicio urgente contra el trato violento que el Estado mexicano ha decidido darnos a las mujeres como ciudadanas. Es una reunión de visiones en español, inglés y spanglish.

Hoy, en Colombia, el último acuerdo de paz se rompe en pedazos y la violencia se apodera del país. Dos películas rodadas en 1984, perdidas durante más de treinta años, salen juntas a la luz. 84 arrastra al espectador entre la ficción y el documental a través de estas bobinas malditas, en un país dividido, entre las ciudades y el campo, condenado por un oscuro presagio de repetición y muerte.

Colonialismo silencioso

La Sur Real presents “El colonialismo silencioso” (The Silent Colonialism), a space of dialogue in which three short documentaries analyze projects related to mining and extractivism;

El Cerrejón coal mine in Colombia, lithium mining in Chile, and the Mayan Train Project in Mexico, will approach these cases from a decolonial perspective to problematize the power relations between the North and the Global South, taking a historical journey from the time of colonization of AbyaYala (Latin America) to the present: Globalization, the commodification of nature, and its relationship to climate change, revealing that these ecocidal and ethnocidal power relations between the Global North and South are still in effect.

SONG OF THE FLIES III – NIGHT

 Ana Maria Vallejo

2021

Song of the Flies III – night – Do murderers sleep? The purple color of a dark night, the sound of the marimba with its sweet music is mistaken for fear. The long day of war is over, but the war continues. The film translates the desolation caused by the violence of the Colombian armed conflict through the poetic voice of Maria Mercedes Carranza (1945-2003) and the audiovisual dialogue between 9 Colombian artists. The archival images, the artists’ memories, and the recurring use of animated loops bring to life the landscapes ravaged by violence and construct a polyphony of memory and mourning, a universal song of pain.

After the republishing of the “Moral Book“(Alfonso Reyes, 1952) by the actual Presidency of Mexico, a text without relevance for the current century and with no inclusion of women nor non-masculine groups, a group of women poets made a ludic re-writing of some of its sections as a feminist manifesto, embracing our voices in this patriarchal society. Later, this video poem was made, as an urgent exercise against the violent treatment that the Mexican State has decided to give us, the women as citizens. This is a reunion of visions in Spanish, English and Spanglish.
