The Stillness Syndrome

In 2018, a group of filmmakers known as "Los Quietos" embarked on a project to create a film essay about a hypothetical syndrome of stillness in Colombia. They aimed to investigate the country's rich history, geography, and idiosyncrasy, despite Colombia being characterized by its dynamic nature. The filmmakers invited notable figures such as documentary master Luis Ospina, presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, and writer Juan Gabriel Vásquez to contribute their insights and perspectives.

The film's intriguing premise highlights the paradox of stillness in a country that is often anything but calm. However, the project remained unfinished for reasons that are not disclosed. As a collector, this film represents a unique entry in the documentary genre, showcasing experimental filmmaking techniques and a thought-provoking exploration of cultural themes. The mockumentary style adds an additional layer of interest, appealing to collectors who appreciate innovative narratives and artistic expression.
