Kalt in Kolumbien

"Kalt in Kolumbien", filmed in Cartagena in 1985 and directed by German actor Dieter Schidor, who attended the festival three years before to present Querelle, by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Seduced by the city, in which he saw a decadent tropical charm, Schidor brought together a varied group of people and involved them in the production, among them German video artist Marcel Odenbach, writer and art critic Gary Indiana, art director Karen Lamassonne, and Victor Nieto Jr., son of the founder of FICCI, who at the time was the director of the festival. Many of the people who participated in Kalt in Kolumbien were struck by tragedies, and the film itself was forgotten. Today, all copies of the movie are legally retained in Hamburg, waiting for someone to claim ownership of them.
