THE DEEPEST RED
MOVIE - 2023
My father, a 70-year-old union member, survived threats and the extermination of his political party. I inherited his conviction, becoming a communist at 15. In 2014, a hitman shot him in Cartagena, but thanks to his bodyguard he survived. To protect himself he had to separate from my mother and go into exile in Europe. When we returned to Colombia we lived in Bogotá. I discovered a being who fights alone and who needs his family. I wonder about the meaning of their struggle and my militancy, through a journey to the past that goes from Russia, through the failed attempts at peace in Colombia and settles in the present of my fractured family.

After norma
(DESPUÉS DE NORMA)- 2019
Norma de Botero is the director's mother and is diagnosed with a terminal illness. When the director finds out he is forced to record it, her, himself, the family... In this way the memories of childhood, fragments of a joyful, uninhibited and vital young mother, which the director recorded as a child, alternate with the uncertainty of what is to come, a tired and silent father who will be alone... It is who we were and who we will be, but it is above all the need to tell. It is not only what the film documents, the memory that it contains, but the need to make the film itself as catharsis, and the need to keep recording, even if death comes after Norma.
