HBF nurtures and presents a wide range of visions by makers from all over the world, and in particular from areas where freedom of expression through film cannot be taken for granted. This assistance is provided to filmmakers from countries where there is no or hardly any infrastructure for film, or where they face other obstacles to the realisation of their dreams or the development and refining of their talent.
Since its foundation in 1988, the Fund has contributed to 1,103 projects from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe. The success of HBF-backed films in Rotterdam and abroad is proof of the synergetic effectiveness of the three-stage rocket launcher made up of International Film Festival Rotterdam, CineMart and HBF. Since 1988, the HBF has helped talent from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe to make their film dreams reality. Brief overview of The Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) started out as a pioneer. The film participated in the Hivos Tiger Awards Competition at IFFR 2016, as well as in IFFR s Brave Talk series. Oscuro animal received HBF Script and Project Development support and was subsequently selected for the NFF+HBF Coproduction Scheme with Dutch coproducer Viking Film. Working without words was a way of showing the emptiness caused by war. I searched for a different way of showing this emotion, through images and sound.
The search for a vehicle to tell the story was geared to the representation of a specific sensation: the feeling that remains in the victims of violence. Why did you choose not to use any dialogue? While I was working on the film, I always had a desire to include elements of Colombian reality, let these go, leave them out, dissect them, deconstruct and re-order them. What I want to ask myself is how I can film the traumatic commotion that continues to exist in the bodies of the victims after a violent event and how I can translate this on screen. Why a film about violence? The film investigates at a deeper level how it is possible to deal with an ongoing situation of violence. The filmmaker himself has now swapped Colombia for a new home: South America s film capital, Buenos Aires. It is an international coproduction (Colombia, Argentina, Germany and Greece) supported by the Hubert Bals Fund. Like his previous two films, Oscuro animal (literally: dark animal) is about Colombia. A film that follows the journeys of three women forced by the violence of war to flee their homes and survive in the rainforest.
At International Film Festival Rotterdam, he presented his third film: Oscuro animal. He has been editing documentaries for many years. 3 Filmmakers Stories: Felipe Guerrero Colombian filmmaker Felipe Guerrero has just turned forty.
