Within the organisation of the film festival KannibalFest, which is supported by Kunstrial e.V. since three years and which is going to take place in August 2018, we want to present the Columbian movie “Los Nadie” (2016) on the 30th of May.
The film was recorded in black&white in seven days with a budget of 2000 Dollars. This masterpiece from the Columbian Juan Sebastian Mesa has won several international awards.
- “Los Nadie” was the Opening Film of the Cartagena International Film Festival (FICCI 56).
- Venice, Italy —“Los Nadie” (“The Nobodies”), a first work by Colombian director Juan Sebastian Mesa about five street punks who are street artists in Medellin, is the winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week prize.
(…) The film “speaks about a generation of disenchanted dreamers that feel the need to embrace the unknown and to explore the world by themselves,” Mesa, 27, said in a statement.
- The winner of the Critics’ Week prize is chosen by the audience.

Director’s note:
This film is an encounter with one of the most enigmatic and radicals movements of our time, Anarcho-Punk, which not only refers to a musical style but is primarily a youth movement with political and artistic postures. Is somehow a reunion with an universe I know deeply, its made of characters and situations that I experienced with my friends as a teenager; but above all this story borns from the inexplicable feeling of leaving the mountains of Medellín, the city where I was born. The journey becomes an excuse to talk about a generation of discontented dreamers, reflected in the lifes of five young people who feel the necessity to embrace the unknown and explore the world by themselves, avoiding the problems and violence in which they live immersed daily.
Synopsis:
Camilo, Mechas, Manu, Ana and Pipa are five friends who live a non-conforming life in Medellin. Their punkish lifestyle is at the same time a protest and a renewed discourse addressing and resisting the cultural limitations of their time.
Music, street art and friendship are their weapons of resistance, hoping for a rite of passage that could transform them into someone else.
