Barrio Triste

Director: Stillz Cast: Brahian Acevedo, Juan Pablo Baena, Samuel Andr s Celis Visionary music director Stillz makes his debut in this violent, raw and hunting 90s-set found footage. Sitting somewhere between documentary, fiction and nightmare, Barrio Triste is the unclassifiable film debut of visionary music director Stillz (who s made videos for Bad Bunny, Rosal a, and Omar Apollo). Set in the outskirts of Medell n, Colombia, in the 90s, the premise is deceptively simple: a camera falls into the hands of a group of lawless young men, who use it to document the everyday violence, criminality, and lovelessness they have become used to. Violent, raw, and sad, it s a film of bold creative swings and extreme emotionality. Stillz is clearly a singular, original voice, and it shows in every frame of Barrio Triste. (ANNA BOGUTSKAYA)
