Florian Gallenberger
Colonia (2015) was a film I truly loved, and it always saddened me that it remained so underrated. I can't believe that this short film by director Florian Gallenberger, despite winning the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film in 2001, is also so underrated. It may be short, but its impact will last a lifetime.
I don't know why the Germans went to Mexico to make such a film or where the idea originated, but even though the entire crew behind the camera is German, the film feels 100% Mexican. Except for the original score composed for the film, the music by Gert Wilden Jr. Has taken the film to a different level, probably along with the two lead actors who are not professional actors (Emilio Perez and Fernando Pena Cuevas).
