Trailer
Why watch this film?
A horror movie that hasn't been produced in a long time. Colombian director Juan Diego Escobar Alzate managed to create a beautiful visual work with this folkloric horror tale. Robert Eggers gained some recognition when he debuted with 'The Witch' in 2015, and Alzate deserves the same, as he was able to build an even richer production than Eggers with a theme that is even similar. 'Luz' is the second feature film by Juan Diego Escobar Alzate, but the first one made for the cinema. The movie made a lot of noise in various international festivals and fell into the taste of critics, not only for the story but also for the beautiful editing. The filmmaker had a special care with the scenography, extremely detailed and well thought out. It may seem daring, but technically speaking, this production is a masterpiece so well done.

Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
