This quickly-filmed avant-garde farce by prolific director Raul Ruiz features an insomniac (Michel Lonsdale) whose main preoccupation is surreptitiously watching private matters -- he is a voyeur. He and an equally disreputable acquaintance rape a woman alongside the Seine, a crime made all the worse because she is pregnant. The rest of this slow-paced film deals with the consequences of that action.

Documentary on Cali in Colombia
For lina Gonzalez Vergara.
Experimental film inspired by Andy Warhol's 'Sleep'.

Between 2014 and 2017, Luis Ospina and Lina González made a series of travels through some Asian countries; perhaps the antipodes of their symbolic world. These travels started a series of records, articulated in a kind of travel log in the style of a modern Marco Polo. This film moves between the gaze of the filmmaker and that of the tourist, at the same time it revitalizes the question for the other in a globalized age, with omnipresent screens. In this posthumous film, Ospina casts his regard on small details, be it common habits or exceptional events.
