PEPE

In the organizer's words:

Feature film - DR, NA, D, F 2024 - 122' - OmU

Director: Nelson Carlos de Los Santos Arias

Probably the first movie in history to be narrated by the ghost of a dead hippopotamus. Pepe the pachyderm is abducted from his African homeland to Colombia with four fellow hippos to live out his life in the private zoo of narco king Pablo Escobar. When the zoo is dissolved, the hippos are taken to the nearby Río Magdalena, where they multiply magnificently - which the local fishermen don't like at all. A crazy, innovative film trip from Dominican director Nelson Carlo de Los Santos Arias.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.
