FOCUS ON

COL 01 Unexpected Perspectives

The main topics of Focus on: Colombia revolve around change, transformation, and upheaval, which are particularly pervasive in this program. In the process they highlight new outlooks for the country. The films make use of unusual styles of animation and experimental ways to tell a wide range of stories about change. One time it’s the paintings in a museum that change as a man looks on. Another time it’s the skyscrapers of Bogota that virtually spring up like mushrooms out of the ground.
