In an unprecedented move, Netflix has struck a multi-year creative partnership with Colombian writer/director team Camilo Prince and Pablo González, best known for their lauded 2020 thriller drama series “The Great Heist” and their 2019 anthology series, “Crime Diaries: Night Out,” both for Netflix.
This is the first creative pact Netflix has made with Colombian talent. Similar partnerships have been made with Venezuela’s Roberto Stopello and Leonardo Padrón as well as Mexico’s Manolo Caro, Carolina Rivera and Chilean writer José Ignacio “Chascas” Valenzuela, creator, showrunner of the hit Netflix series “Who Killed Sara?”
The new alliance coincides with the April 10 Netflix debut of the duo’s latest series, “The Hijacking of Flight 601” (“Secuestrar al Vuelo”), inspired by the longest skyjacking in Latin American history, which happened on May 30, 1973.

“Rebellion,” from José Luis Rugeles whose “Alias María” competed at Cannes Un Certain Regard and was Colombia’s Oscar entry, has been acquired for international sales by Latido Films.
Latido will be bringing the title onto the market at Toronto.
In the film, Rugeles takes a non-linear approach to the narrative drifting through moments in Arroyo’s life and psyche from childhood through to the end of his life. “Rebellion” explores memory, addiction and Arroyo’s deep connection to the composition of song.
It shows the birth of legendary melodies being recorded obsessively by Arroyo into multiple tape recorders as he layers ideas upon each other. These fragments infiltrate the soundtrack throughout, at times bursting into full band performances of Arroyo’s famous songs. The authenticity of the music is aided by some of the musicians involved having played with Arroyo.
Lead producer Federico Durán of Rhayuela said: “When we...

Director Jaime Osorio Marquez made his feature debut six years ago with the very moody and impressive The Squad (El Paramo). (Here's my review, as well as one by my colleague Swarez. Now he's returning with his sophomore feature, The Sacrifice (Siete Cabezas), which looks just as moody and impressive, if not more so because of the weight of its themes. Here's a synopsis found at IMDb: "Marcos, a withdrawn park ranger, sees the fragile balance achieved in his isolation collapse with the arrival of a couple of biologists investigating strange bird deaths. "Unfortunately, the desire and envy for normality represented by the couple awaken the monster he has been trying to control. His face, his legs, and his arms don't belong to him and...

Exclusive: Sales outfit boards Siete Cabezas and Killing Jesus.
Spanish sales outfit Latido Films is strengthening its links with Latin American cinema at every market, and Cannes is no exception. The Madrid-based company has scored two key Latin American deals at the start of the Marché, boarding international sales for Siete Cabezas (pictured) by El Paramo director Jaime Osorio Marquez and Killing Jesus, the debut feature of Laura Mora.

Screen investigates which films from around the world could launch on the Croisette, including on opening night.
With just over a month to go before the line-up for this year’s Cannes Film Festival is unveiled in Paris, Croisette predictions and wish lists are hitting the web thick and fast.
Screen’s network of correspondents and contributors around the world have been putting out feelers to get a sense of what might or might not make it to the Palais du Cinéma or one of the parallel sections.
Just like the Oscars, this year’s festival is likely to unfold amid a politically-charged atmosphere. Beyond Trump and the rise of populism across the globe, France will be digesting the result of its own presidential election on May 7. Against this background, the festival will be feting its 70th edition.

Claudia Pedraza’s debut feature scooped the $20,000 top prize at the Bogotá Audiovisual Market.

La Sed (The Thirst) won the Efd (Equipment and Film Design Colombia) Prize, which comes with $20,000 (€18,000) worth of Efd shooting equipment. The film marks director Claudia Pedraza’s [pictured] debut feature after working as first assistant director on Ciro Guerra’s Embrace Of The Serpent.

El páramo (The Squad)
Screenplay by Jaime Osorio Marquez
Directed by Jaime Osorio Marquez
Argentina/Colombia/Spain, 2011
The basic conceit of El páramo is what ultimately holds the film back. Try as it might the film can never move past what it presents in its opening minutes. That’s not a good trait in a film, usually at least. El páramo tries to move past its opening scenes and present the squad as having been altered by their discovery, but that’s a lie within the film. There’s no reason that the film couldn’t have done something with its lie, but instead it tries to present said lie as a truth. The question that the film ends up asking is, how can a squad that doesn’t function properly be changed into a squad that doesn’t function properly?
The answer to the above question is that they can’t be changed.

Director: Jaime Osorio Marquez. Writers: Tania Cardenas, Jaime Osorio Marquez, and Diego Vivanco. Cast: Juan David Restrepo, Juan Pablo Barragan, Andrés Castañeda, and Mauricio Navas. Director Jaime Osorio Marquez's first film, El Paramo aka The Squad, is a chilling footstep into the horror genre. The film shows the fictional psychological breakdown of a military squad. Their loss may or may not be instigated by a supernatural phenomenon. Eerie music, a fog covered setting and use of darkness create for one of the most terrifying films to come out of South America (Colombia) in a long time. The film follows Ponce (Juan Pablo Barragan) in the early scenes. His face is grim as he enters yet another combat zone. He and his squad mates must reconnoiter a local communications array. The soldiers stationed there have not responded to radio transmissions and a fog in the area blurs the vision. Ponce...

Director: Jaime Osorio Marquez. Review: Adam Wing. Jaime Osorio Marquez directs this 2011 Colombian horror film, which focuses on a special army unit wandering around in dense fog – quite a lot of the time as it happens. I’m pretty sure there’s more to the plot than that, but there’s precious little else to recommend about this languid thriller. Apart from the murkiness that is, they spend a lot of time wandering around in the darkness as well. When contact is lost with a military base set deep in the desolate plains of Colombia, a special high mountain command unit is sent to check things out. The Squad jumps right into the thick of it, both literally and figuratively, with next to no time devoted to character development or back-story. The majority of the first act is spent following one-dimensional characters around the darkness, with no sense of fear,...

I can't remember a time I went to the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff) press launch and looked over the list of films and saw so many I was interested in seeing. The claim to fame for over the years is to call it the largest and most-highly attended festival in the United States. This is a fact I've often taken issue with as I don't equate quantity with quality. Granted, there has been a large number of quality features to play the fest over the years, including Golden Space Needle (Best Film) winners such as Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), My Life as a Dog (1987), Trainspotting (1996), Run Lola Run (1999), Whale Rider (2003) and even recent Best Director winner, Michel Hazanavicius's Oss 117: Nest of Spies in 2006. That said, looking over this year's crop of films I see a lot of films I will be doing my absolute best to see.

Serving on the front lines of a war can have both physical and emotional repercussions. Witnessing such atrocities as the death of your fellow comrades and committing both enemy and friendly-fire murders can result in permanent damage. Many films have dealt with the “horrors of war.” Yet, not many have explored soldiers dealing with a horror that’s potentially beyond their own world.
The Squad begins as a guerrilla unit infiltrates a military base that has recently ceased communication. Deep in the mountains of Columbia, an abandoned base resides in a hazy fog. When the unit enters the facility they find a desolate blood-covered void. No bodies have been left behind except a brutal massacre looks to have taken place. One of the soldiers hears a slight tapping in a conjoining storage room on the grounds of the base. After breaking through the wall, the soldiers find a mute, scared,...

A quick new teaser trailer has surfaced for Columbian director Jaime Osorio Marquez’s military horror film “El Paramo” (“The Squad”). The footage doesn’t give away much information about the movie, but what it does do is create a nice amount of tension and fright in a mere 57 seconds. Here’s a synopsis: The military loses contact with a secluded military base in the mountains and convinced that it’s under guerilla attack, a force of nine highly specialized soldiers is sent to investigate. Upon arrival, the only person found inside the base is a peasant woman who is heavily chained. Gradually, the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside world and the impossibility to escape, undermine the integrity and sanity of the soldiers, causing them to lose the certainties about the identity of the enemy and creating them doubts about the true nature of that strange and silent woman.

It’s not often that we see military-themed horror movies, is it? At least, I can’t think of many. Anywho, here’s one for ya: it’s a Colombian flick called El Paramo, directed by Jaime Osorio Marquez.
And what’s it about? A special high mountain command composed of nine experienced soldiers is sent to a military base in a desolate high-plains moor of Colombia with which contact was lost several days ago, and was believed to be the target of a guerrilla attack. Upon arrival, the only person found inside the base is a peasant woman who is heavily chained. Gradually, the isolation, the inability to communicate with the outside world and the impossibility to escape, undermine the integrity and sanity of the soldiers, causing them to lose the certainties about the identity of the enemy and creating doubts about the true nature of that strange and silent woman.
