Description

What makes a film a trans film? A story? A character? The people behind the film? Anhell69 invites the audience to meditate on this question. In this personal poetic journey, Theo Montoya shares an intimate portrait of real life experiences of a young group of friends who are part of the queer scene in Medellín, Colombia. The film moves through dreamlike and nightmarish sequences following the script of a vampire movie that never came to fruition due the passing of the film’s protagonist - Camilo Najar (21) - AKA “Anhell69”. Inspired by the history of Colombian cinema, neo-noir, and punk rock aesthetics, the film shares a unique worldview of a generation that might be changing the current paradigms of a society with a long track of pain and violence.
