Forensics

Directed by Federico Atehortúa Arteaga

With Katalina Angel, Silvana Pérez, Karen Quintero, Daniela Maldonado and Federico Atehortúa Arteaga

A filmmaker investigates three cases of violence in Colombia, including a murder occurring near his mother’s home. The narrative follows his attempts to reconstruct these lost lives through archival research and the physical traces left in the landscape. This personal inquiry expands into a broader study of how a nation tracks its missing citizens, eventually mapping the overlap between individual family grief and official state processes of forensic recovery.
