A Ballad for Dead Children
2020 · 80 min
A mournful, literary collage of voices and archival fragments that drifts like a reverie, asking you to sit with a young artist's obsession and early death.
- Tagline
- A journey through Andrés Caicedo's unconscious.
- Overview
- 'A Ballad for dead children' is a tribute to Andrés Caicedo and Cali and it's group, as the seed of a cinematographic phenomenon, but it goes one step further. Testimonies and fragment readings compose, together with a very powerful archive material, the story of a story that has a deep sense and cinematographic interest: the story of Andrés and his eternal fascination with horror literature and cinema b, the of the boy who was born to write, that of the young man who decided to mock death by planning his own ending. A film that tries to maintain the difficult balance on the fine line that separates and unites the two: man and work, work and man, in an eternal and indissoluble way.
