Cinta colombiana gana en festival de Toulouse

Toulouse. Siembra, película de Colombia en blanco y negro sobre el drama de los desplazados en ese país, ganó este sábado el gran premio del Festival Cinelatino de Toulouse. La ópera prima de Ángela Osorio y Santiago Lozano aborda con excepcional fineza la historia de un padre que añora regresar a la tierra que tuvo que abandonar por el conflicto armado de más de medio siglo. El largometraje Días extraños, oda a la juventud y a la libertad dirigida por el colombiano Juan Sebastián Quebrada, recibió una mención especial del jurado por su “irreverencia”. También, filmes de Ecuador, Cuba y Paraguay fueron galardonados en el certamen francés que ofrece cada año un panorama exhaustivo de la cinematografía latinoamericana más reciente. El premio del público, otorgado por votación por los espectadores presentes en las proyecciones de las películas en competición, fue para el drama cubano El acompañante, de Pavel Giroud. La cinta ubica su trama en la década de los 80, cuando en la isla los enfermos de sida eran recluidos de forma obligatoria en sanatorios bajo régimen militar, de los cuales sólo podían salir una vez a la semana con un acompañante.

La inmensa mayoría de los rusos y habitantes de Europa oriental, que sufrieron la experiencia burocrática de capitalismo de Estado, bautizada “socialismo” por quienes medraban a costa de los que decían representar, ha sido vacunada contra el concepto mismo de socialismo. El auge de un vago anarquismo entre algunos sectores estudiantiles es hoy la expresión del repudio generalizado a esos regímenes antidemocráticos que desconocían la heterogeneidad de la clase obrera y, por tanto, el pluralismo de opiniones en su seno e impedían la libertad de prensa, de palabra, de reunión, de pensamiento y de organización con la cárcel, el manicomio o la muerte.
