"The jury awarded the documentary shorts prize to WHERE CHAOS REIGNS,

for its AUDACITY, its HAUNTING images and its ability to bring us closer to the crisis in Venezuela than anything we’ve seen thus far in America. In a country grappling with an unprecedented economic and humanitarian CRISIS, the filmmakers take their cameras to the streets and join the throngs of brave protesters risking arrest, injury and death to call for change. Their UNFLINCHING CAMERAS capture singular moments of courage, fearlessness and violence that linger long after the film has ended.”

Cúcuta

A feature documentary

5,000 Venezuelans cross the border into Colombia, through the border town of Cùcuta, every day with no intention of returning home. Every - single - day. There is no end in sight for this massive influx of migrants who are traveling with all their belongings on their backs. Luckily, Colombia, unlike most countries in the region (and the world) has decided to open its doors to these migrants.
Through the lives of our characters you will experience every hardship but also every moment of fulfillment these migrants go through in order to find a better life. From a single mother of 5 struggling to find a roof for her children, to a group of kids living in a soup kitchen and somehow maintaining their innocence despite the chaotic environment surrounding them, as well as a Colombian immigration officer who's job is to regulate the entry of Venezuelans through the border and in some cases even send them back. This film is an immersive experience into life on one of the busiest borders in the world and how, maybe, the answer to immigration might be in Colombias hands.
