Film of the Week: MUTE FIRE

MUTE FIRE / PIROTECNIA
A film by Federico Atehortúa Arteaga
(Colombia, 2019, 83 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

“In 1906, four men were executed for attempting to kill Colombia’s President, Rafael Reyes. The failed coup is revisited in Federico Atehortúa’s film essay, in which a family accident leads the director to discover the uncanny relationship between his mother, the origins of Colombian cinema, and recent events in the country’s prolonged armed conflict.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center
