New version:


Via Carolina Botero:

The IV Festival Internacional de Cine y Video Alternativo y Comunitario “Ojo al Sancocho” (www.ojalsancocho.org) will take place in Bogota's Ciudad Bolivar from September 16 to 23. The main objective of this annually held festival is to democratize audiovisual culture among communities of this poor periphery of Bogota.

The festival celebrates culture, gathering artists, musicians, academics to share their points of view, as part of the community, around new Colombian and international film and video. Exhibition takes place in communitary neighborhood spaces like streets and walls. Last year's  street film exhibitions (against house walls) were probably one of the most interesting and strange experiences for the neighbors. These experiences allow important and communitary guests to mix and match with ordinary people to understand together realities that we all share from different geographical perspectives.

Ecuador is the special guest this year. The festival's free and open to everyone activities will take place not just in Ciudad Bolivar but also in Soacha (another peripheral community). Productions from Ecuador, but also Mexico, Chile, Spain, Brazil, Venezuela and USA will share their experiences with locals in over 30 movies. Even though the emphasis is on audiovisual productions, the appropriation of the local landscape through guided tours, photo forums and communitary performance venues are also part of the invitation. The political and activist issues will also have a place with gender and children spaces, even HIV chats will take place and workshops will be held for specific populations.

This event takes place thanks to the work of “Sueños Films Colombia” that supports the project “Centro de Medios Ciudad Bolivar” http://centrodemedioscb.wordpress.com/ and with the financial support of private and public sector and even some international organizations and embassies.
