La Sur Real Film Festival Presents:
We, beyond the skins
La Sur Real Film Festival presents “We, Beyond the Skins” a curatorship that invites us to explore the multiple layers of human existence, from the intersection of identities, natures and aesthetics. Through this selection of films by Crisálida Cine, we enter into a journey that addresses animality, the queer body, women and new ways of being and expressing oneself. The selection also ventures into science fiction and fantasy, opening windows to alternative realities that challenge our perceptions and expand narrative boundaries. The works presented reflect Crisálida Cine's commitment to formal experimentation and the creation of new aesthetics, offering a radical and refreshing view of contemporary cinema. Crisálida Cine also stands out for its ability to create meaningful cinema with limited resources, using film archives and creativity. Rejecting the imitation of industrial models, Crisálida develops an authentic voice of its own, demonstrating that it is possible to produce high-impact works with ingenuity and originality.
About Crisálida
Crisálida Cine is a film studio based in Medellín, Colombia interested in making films that find in form and language their only way to exist, based on experimentation from their own materiality and their relationship with other possibilities of expression. Works that find their own paths around the body, animality, the woman, the queer body, science fiction and processes of hybridisation and faith in the world.

People wonder where the birds go to die. My grandmother's village had a lighthouse among the mountains, a forest full of creatures and an echo that sounded at night like the warm wind. That's where the birds went to die. LA NOCHE DEL MINOTAURO is a fantastic tale, based on archival material to build the story of Luz Emilia Garcia, the precursor of porn cinema in Colombia.
