Resistencia: Hip-hop in Colombia is a radical and thought-provoking exploration of how young Colombians feel about the crisis afflicting their country. The film follows a summer in the lives of some of Colombia's finest rappers, DJs and break dancers. The film is a good introduction for anyone interested in Colombia's long-running civil war, as seen through the eyes of those directly affected by it. It also gives an intimate insight into life in the barrios of a very volatile country, and how traditional Latino music is losing out to rap music. Its style is youthful and entertaining, but also angry and enlightening.

MINENO MA KUSA RI PALENGE- TERCER MOVIMIENTO
(Look at the things of Palenque) - Third movement
2003, Cesar Tapias and German Arango, Columbia, 30 min.
Palenque de San Basilio, a village near Cartagena de Indias on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, was founded by maroons in the sixteenth century. They became famous for their continuous resistance to the Spanish threw out the centuries and claim to be the first free town of Latin America because of a peace treaty that they signed in the beginning of the seventeenth century with the archbishop of Cartagena. Today Palenqueros make their living from agriculture and the trips the women make daily to sell their fruit in Cartagena. It is a town that still today maintains many African customs.
For the field work we conformed a group of filmmakers of the Palenque village, they call themselves SUTO MEMO FILMS, which translates: "films about ourselves". The purpose of conforming this group was to develop an audio-visual program based on concepts tied to the research project for which we made this documentary film. Our objective: to register, to construct, to reconstruct: to document, along with the Palenque community, its cultural patterns of culinary, oral and musical traditions, amongst other aspects.

About the Third Movement
The different celebrations of death in Palenque astonish us. Simanca's family dance around his dead body, Tabalá sextet, a traditional music group, and their friends, do not stop singing. We leave Cartagena with the women who are going back to Palenque, and the bus takes the same route that hundreds of years ago, the slaves used to flee in search of freedom. This documentary is about going to and coming from Africa, but this doesn't exist, it is only a dream. The Palenque village is a clutter of memories that recover themselves in songs, it represents a past that is updated in each of its days and in each one of the faces of its inhabitants.
