This is not your Garden
Rooted in wetlands, páramos and centennial forests at the verge of disappearing, memories and a speculated future collide. 500 years of exploitation, exile and resilience are nourished by a collective pain and a desire to crack through it all.

Colombian filmmakers with background in Film Programming and New Media, whose work focuses on anti-hegemonic representation and expanded animation. Their work has qualified for the 96th Academy Awards, BAFTA and Goya Awards – winning the Uppsala Award in Memory of Ingmar Bergman, as well as other awards such as the ZINEBI Grand Award and the ENCOUNTERS Animation Grand Prix. Their films have premiered several times at the Annecy International Animation Festival.
This film is a temporal journey in the highlands of Bogota, Colombia, which follows the last 500 years of exploitation, exile and resilience of the flora that has historically inhabited this territory. Beginning in the pre-Columbian period of equilibrium between flora and other beings, this anti-anthropocentric report narrates in an expressive and abstract way the effects of colonial deforestation, the drying up of the land, the industrial flattening and the slow cracking of the contemporary city by the flora that has survived.
