Paradise

NEW DOCS

Shot entirely on Super-8mm, this extraordinary experimental film is a passionate collage of life, love, work, and politics in Colombia. Evoking the revolutionary aesthetics of Vertov, Felipe Guerrero’s use of montage and dissonant sound fleshes out an everyday human and physical landscape, challenging the narco-centric representations of this beleaguered nation. Throughout, a fascination with the marvels of cinema makes each frame a captivating reflection on movement, light, and texture.  SW
