Movie
The Stillness Syndrome
2021 · 30 min
A playful, cerebral mock-documentary that blurs fact and fiction, inviting you to ponder national identity through a deadpan, essayistic lens.
- Overview
- In 2018, a group of filmmakers calling themselves "Los Quietos" set out to make a film essay on a hypothetical syndrome of stillness in the Republic of Colombia. To this end, they invite Colombian documentary master Luis Ospina, presidential candidate Gustavo Petro and writer Juan Gabriel Vásquez to give them clues to delve into the history, geography and idiosyncrasy of Colombia, a country that, paradoxically, has very little of stillness. For unknown reasons, the project remained unfinished.
