The 24th Bogota Film Festival Fest opens Wednesday with the directorial debut of Colombian Carlos Palau, "El sueno del paradiso" (Paradise Dream), and closes Oct. 11 with the winner of the feature debut category.
Ten local pics will compete for Colombian film, which takes centerstage at the fest. Three of them will also vie for the feature debut prize, which is not strictly limited to the first pic.
Event pays homage to Egypt this year with the screening of 10 classics from the Arab nation, including Ahmed Galai's "Laila."
Fest introduces a competitive category aimed at filmmakers no older than 18. The Alexis youth prize is in honor of tyro filmmaker Alexis Echavarria who died at the age of 16. The Premio Alexis, to be awarded to video or full-length feature, includes a bronze sculpture and $1,000 cash prize.
PREMIO ALEXIS
"Boo," by Micke Moreno, Andres Murcia, Bastian Madiedo and Pedro Montilla
"Que pasaria si...?," by Nelly Parra, Emiliano Granada and Micke Moreno
"Donde se ahoga el sueno," by Alejandro RodrÃguez Lombana
"Ritmos urbanos," by Elisa Cadavid
"Helio," by Andres Bernal Sanchez
"Libre," by Samir Oliveros
This year the fest is partnering with local network RCN, which has sponsored the event for three years. Fest is expected to benefit from the web's organizational heft and blanket coverage.
