Hasta que se apague el sol

Until The Sun Dies
Jonas Brander, Colombia, Germany 2023, 93 Min., Spanish with English subtitles

Followed by a conversation with Luz Marina Bernal Parra, Jonas Brander, and members of Kolumbien Kampagne Berlin

Hasta que se apague el sol (Until The Sun Dies)
unfolds its stories over co-incidences of the contrary: life born from death, and death from the pursuit of peace and justice.

It follows Luz Marina Bernal, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and mother seeking justice after the extrajudicial killing of her son and Albeiro Camayo, a Nasa indigenous leader who defends his territory against armed groups and multinational companies, both social leaders in the Colombian "post-conflict" landscape.
Here, the ancestral Indigenous saying “until the sun dies” mirrors Luz Marina’s and Albeiro’s, uncompromising fight for a world where life wins over death, equality over inequality, and the voice of the people over the imposed silence of violence.
Hasta que se apague el sol (Until The Sun Dies) is a restless meditation on territory and identity, grief, and community. (CFI)
