La jauría | SproutsFF23

La jauría by Andrés Ramírez Pulido

Dutch Premiere | 2022 | Colombia, France | 86 minutes

debut competition

A dark, brooding tale about an experimental youth detention center in the Colombian jungle. By means of an eerie score, penetrating gazes and a deep, earthy colour palette director Andrés Ramírez Pulido has created a transgressive world of shadows. He slowly reveals a corrupt, broken system messing up the lives of tormented boys. A menacing debut reminiscent of Monos (2019).

he film is part of Sprouts Film Festival 2023, which will be held May 10-14. For more information about our festival and the SproutsFF23 films , click here.
