6th Colombian Film Festival NY 2018

The 6th Colombian Film Festival NY is at Cinépolis Chelsea in Chelsea, Manhattan from Thursday – Sunday, March 22 – 25, 2018.

The Festival has Fiction, Documentary, Short Film, and Classics sections.

Opening Night ~ Ciro & Yo

The festival opens with a red carpet screening of Ciro & Yo.  at Cinépolis Chelsea at 7:30 pm.

The screening is followed by a reception at Peruvian restaurant Raymi in Manhattan’s Flatiron District with Colombian Rumba Flamenca band Nilko Andreas & LaMar.

Ciro y Yo

Ciro Galindo was born on August 29th, 1952 in Colombia. Wherever he’s gone, war has found him. After twenty years of friendship, I understood Ciro‘s life sums up Colombia’s history. Like so many Colombians, he is a survivor who has run away from war for more than sixty years, and now dreams of living in peace. Ciro & Me is a journey to memory, seeking to give sorrow words; a journey, similar to that of Colombia in times of peace, a search to recover its dignity.

Special Presentation ~ El Inca

Ignacio Castillo Cottin’s 2016 Venezuelan film El Inca screens on March 23 at 8:40 pm.

El Inca is a tragic love story based on the life of the great Latin American boxer Edwin “El Inca” Valero. The only fight he lost, was the one against himself. The film shows a complex biographical drama about talent and charisma, love and ambition, excess and self-destruction. It was censored by the Venezuelan government.
