La voz de la montaña (2020)
[Documentary]
This film show us how former FARC-ep combatants live after signing the peace treaty with the Colombian government. as part of the agreements, territorial spaces for reincorporation were implemented where former combatants live and work in productive projects. As these projects are often not financed by the government, many ex-combatants have become distrustful and many have defected from the peace accords. At the same time, many social leaders and cultural workers have been killed for accepting peace.

Espiritus helvetianos (2019)
[Short documentary]
The documentary "Helvetian Spirit(s)", made for the 70th anniversary of the Colegio Helvetia.
Through testimonies, audiovisual archives from different periods, music produced by exalumni and the memory of several iconic moments, it addresses, with reflection and humor, the question of the continuities that distinguish us as a community, in the midst of its different periods and transformations. Have you ever wondered if there is not something like a "Helvetian spirit"?

It is part of an interdisciplinary research carried out at the Central University (other products emerged, such as several written articles and a musical CD).
