Anhell69

Radical and touching, morbid and passionate: drawing on discarded casting recordings and observations among friends, Montoya tells a ghost story about a young, queer generation in the Colombian city of Medellin, which is plagued by violence, drugs, and repression. The DOK Leipzig film festival jury awarded the film the Golden Dove: Anhell69 is “a cinematic slipstream of consciousness fuelled by human nature’s pleasure and death drives,” adding: “An ode to an ill-fated city and a tribute to one’s community.”
