Introduced by Stanley Schtinter

purge.xxx presents Camilo Restrepo's feature-length debut, Los Conductos, along with two earlier shorts, Cilaos, and La Bouche, marking the vinyl LP release of the soundtracks by Christine Salem and Mohamed "Diable rouge" Bangoura, respectively. 

Cilaos
Camilo Restrepo, 2016, 13 min

Carried by the spell-binding rhythm of the maloya, a ritual chant from Reunion Island, Cilaos, starring Christine Salem, explores the deep and murky ties that bind the dead and the living.

La Bouche
Camilo Restrepo, 2017, 19 min

La Bouche is an experimental musical featuring Guinean percussion master Mohamed Bangoura, loosely based on his own story. The two films form an extraordinary informal duet, receiving significant accolades, prizes and exposure at the time of their release.

Los Conductos
Camilo Restrepo, 2020, 70 min

Los Conductos is Restrepo's major motion picture debut, mixing up “myth, fantasy and contemporary Colombian reality to potent effect.” It is the story of a man coming to terms with his past after fulfilling his greatest desire: assassinating the leader of the sect of which he was a part for many years.
