I Saw Three Black Lights

Yo Vi Tres Luces Negras

Colombia, Mexico, France, Germany 2024 Fiction cor 87’

José de los Santos lives in a village on the Colombian Pacific coast. As a child, he learned the arts of mortuary rituals inherited from his African former slave ancestors. He accompanies the dead ones on their way to eternal rest. One day, the soul of his son Pium-Pium — who was violently murdered — announces his death to him, warning him that he must not die near his home, and above all, he must die in peace. José de los Santos begins a journey through the jungle to find a place to die, defying the curfew imposed by the illegal armed groups that dispute the territory. He must survive the guns to avoid joining the souls in purgatory.

Winner of the best cinematography and screenplay awards in the IberoAmerican competition at the Guadalajara Film Festival. The film also was presented at the Berlin International Film Festival.
