In the recent film festival "WOW" in Wales have had the opportunity to see two films that I had not seen before, and definitely worth a lot of grief. The first is simply to "Travels the Wind "by Ciro Guerra. This travel story bombards us with the most stunning landscapes of northern Colombia and the voices that represent the land away from the noise of cities. Among the indigenous languages \u200b\u200band palisade, and through the most stunning landscapes by human absence, we continue this beautiful journey, with a Ulysses who just wants to return to return what has been executed. This tour is a rack of memory, an understanding of good and evil, won and lost. The cinematography is splendid and simple brevity of us to penetrate in the gestures, movements, and the sounds that lulled the work. The crossing of Ignacio, and Fermin is a journey that borders on the spiritual and passionate part of the music, and its value as part of life itself. Beyond the simplistic narratives so common recently, 
this work is an exploration of the visual possibilities of film, and reminds us that there are many things that are beyond our vision, and only the jugglers, gypsies eternal, know those parts that exist only in songs and rhythms. The other film is "Nana" by Sebastián Silva. With a free camera and a concentration in the foreground, Silva allows us to go slowly to the complex character of Rachel, a domestic worker in a wealthy Chilean family. The film does not stop with the simplistic emotional, but we plasma all aspects, including hatred, love, jealousy and secrets that live in that home.
Raquel is part of the family, but at the same time is alien to it, living constantly between being the pimp of some and the yoke of others. The story is entertaining, then let us vindicate our own childhood misdeeds, but shows us how the feelings are likely to continue to work the same way as in our childhood, full of fear, of selfishness and lies, but in turn charged love, joy and innocence. This film manages to touch and also produce hope for a general audience. It is not a criticism of the working conditions of domestic workers, but can see some of its unpleasant features, nor is it a constant sanctification of service work. It's a film that lets us understand the importance of making a choice to meet people, to love and to discover who we make our lives better ourselves. With these two Latin American works are evidence that good stories are made from the narrative and film making, and not from large marketing budgets or exceptional. It is undeniable, of course, that the lack of industrial capacity have these two works has made a gem of film festivals and similar occasions, rather than major cartels in the mall multiplex. Here, however, clearly write my appreciation for this type of work and directors who get a following of their own, among which I consider part. Sure that both my friend and my friend Potter Eastwood agree. What do you think?
