Luis Ospina

Luis Ospina was born in Cali in 1949 and learned cinema in the United States. He returned to form, with Carlos Mayolo and the writer Andrés Caicedo, the Cali group, which ran a film club and published a review. With Mayolo he made a mock documentary that mocks pornomiseria, the trade in images of poverty that foreign crews came to Colombia to seek. He then devoted most of his work to documentary, including a long collective self-portrait of his generation shot during his own illness. He died in Bogotá in 2019.
