Screening of three selected films by Colombian audiovisual artist Carlos Gómez Salamanca, followed by a remote Q&A with the director (in Spanish, translation provided.) Presented by the Critical Media Club.

CARNE is a project that explores the relationship between cinema and painting. It is based on the reconstruction of an amateur video showing images of an animal's death in a rural celebration in Colombia. This short film shows real events with a visual treatment of great plastic force, a renewed projection surface, revalued, where the literal action loses value and an abstract dimension appears, a power of figuration (and no longer of narration) of the images.

LUPUS is an animated documentary about a raw news blotter: A security guard watching was devoured by a pack of more than 20 stray dogs in the streets of Bosa, a slum suburb of Bogotá. The film examines the wider context of this tragic event to explore issues such as urban sprawl, wild instinct, and our relations with animals in large cities.

YUGO is a documentary animation project about the organic adaptation of industrial capitalism in Latin America and its environmental consequences. It tells the story of a couple of anonymous industrial workers who have to face migration, work, and illness.
