The catalogue of Colombian short films, a PROIMAGENES Colombia initiative supported by the Film Development Fund (FDC), announced the shortlist for its third edition at the Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM). In total, there are six short films in this new volume that will have the opportunity to be sent to approximately 80 international events for their festival tour.

The world premiere of "La Roya" in New Directors, the participation of "Amparo" in Horizontes Latinos, and "Un varón" and "Donde comienza el río" in the industry sections are Colombia’s contributions to the 69th edition of the festival.

The Spanish-Colombian co-production was premiered at the Venice Critics’ Week, which ran from September 1 to 11.

The program coordinated by IDARTES (Audiovisual Arts Department of the District Institute of the Arts) has fostered the consolidation of the city as one of the epicenters for audiovisual production in the region.

The co-production Memoria directed by the Thai Apichatpong Weerasethakul won the Official Competition Jury Prize and Sandra Melissa Torres received the Best Actress Award in Critics' Week for her performance in Amparo by Simón Mesa Soto.

At the closing ceremony, the list of winners of the 12th edition of the Bogota Audiovisual Market (BAM) was announced, which this year was held in a hybrid format.
