Plot & Summary
This is the incredible story of Pablo Escobar, the infamous boss of Colombia's Medellin drug cartel, told for the very first time by his son, Sebastian and his widow Maria Isabel Santos. In Nicolas Entel's film Sebastian tells of his extraordinary childhood, growing up with a father he loved but whom he knew to be Colombia's enemy number one. He tells of times of extraordinary luxury and extravagance, and other times on the run. And Sebastian and his widow open the family vaults to share their private and long hidden archives. But this is also the story of two of Escobar's most prominent victims, the Minister of Justice and a politician about to be elected President of Colombia, as told by their sons. They were among hundreds that Escobar had killed in the 1980's. The film follows Sebastian as he tries to break the cycle of revenge and assassination by seeking reconciliation with the sons of his father's victims.

Los colores de la montaña [The Colors of the Mountain] (2010) - Colombia

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1715853/


Plot & Summary
Capturing the essence and tension of an invisible danger that could erupt at any moment is no mean feat, but Carlos César Arbeláez most assuredly manages it with his debut feature, which first creates a bucolic scene so that the oncoming threat is shown in stark relief. Set in a village deep in the La Pradera region of the Colombian countryside, the sense of the natural surroundings is acute, from the verdant colours of the film's title to the sound of birdsong and the whirr of crickets - acting as a backdrop for the games that little Manuel (played beautifully by Hernan Ocampo) plays with his friends Paco Luz and Julian. Chief among them is football. Manuel is a keen goalie and dreams of making it big, so the arrival of a brand new ball on his ninth birthday is like manna from heaven.

Los viajes del viento [The Wind Journeys] (2009) - Colombia

Colombia's official submission to 82nd Academy Award's Foreign Language in 2010

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1426374/

Plot & Summary
The rugged majesty of the Colombian landscape forms a spectacular widescreen backdrop for a simple, bittersweet tale of regret and companionship in "The Wind Journeys." Awash in scenic vistas and infused with a touch of the supernatural, this beautifully judged two-hander tells the story of an aging accordion player and the young wannabe musician he's reluctantly allowed to accompany him on his long trek north. Fest travel will take writer-director Ciro Guerra's second feature far and wide, particularly in Latin American territories, and smart, venturesome distribs should be able to capitalize on the film's abundant visual and emotional rewards.
