Anhell69

25th TiDF: Greek Premiere

A funeral car cruises the streets of Medellín, while a young director tells the story of his past in this violent and conservative city. He remembers the preproduction of his first film, a B-Movie with ghosts. The young queer scene of Medellín is casted for the film, but the main protagonist dies of a heroin overdose at the age of 21, just like many friends of the director. Anhell69 explores the dreams, doubts, and fears of an annihilated generation, and the struggle to carry on making cinema. In the words of the director:  this is “the immortalization of our recollections, our memory, our life before death, and maybe a warning for the generations and governments to follow.”
