00:00I'm a writer and producer of television that makes movies.
00:07The aesthetic and narrative of my movies is television.
00:13And in television, you play the love of the great public.
00:22TV is massive.
00:24If you don't have a great public, you don't exist.
00:39It was a project that I had a long time ago,
00:41because it was part of a real experience.
00:45In the 70's, when I was in the school,
00:48in the district, there were colleges masculinos or women
00:51and in a moment, in the 76's,
00:53there was an experiment of the Volver los Mixtos
00:56to my school, called El Jorge.
00:58Imagine, it was called Colegio Distrital para Varones,
01:01Jorge Eliezer Gaitán.
01:03And in that school, there was one woman during a year.
01:07It was called Nubia.
01:09And also, I wanted to tell you,
01:11that of course, it was not an autobiography.
01:13The base situation is real,
01:16but there is a whole structure.
01:18So, coincide that there are two products
01:21in which there are, in the majority,
01:24a lot of me, if we compare it to others.
01:30What happens is that nowadays,
01:32the limits between the television and the cinema
01:33have ended up with the technological unification.
01:36technological, because today,
01:38we don't have movies in 35mm.
01:41When I started, we had movies in 35mm.
01:44Today, everything goes through the digital technology.
01:47And that technological technological
01:49also had consequences on the aesthetic.
01:51Today, the cinema
01:54seems to be more than the television
01:56and the television seems to be more than the cinema.
01:59With the appearance of the platforms,
02:01the channels of cable,
02:02there are series of television
02:04that seem to be extended movies,
02:06and there are series of television.
02:09So, let's say that the frontier
02:11broke down,
02:12which is like a imposibility
02:15of that medium,
02:15which has consequences on the aesthetic
02:17and the narrative.
02:18And when I started to make movies,
02:20I started to make that narrative
02:21to the cinema,
02:22not only the narrative,
02:23but also the commercialization,
02:25the marketing,
02:26and that has allowed us to have
02:28a autosuficiente and rentable
02:31that has allowed us to have continuity.
02:39With the new panorama of the cinema
02:40and the audiovisual,
02:42nowadays, there is a lot of offers.
02:44There is a lot of audiovisual content
02:47circulating in the cinema,
02:49in the television forms,
02:50and the streamers.
02:53So, we have to opt for a different strategy
02:56and try to grow in volume
03:01to sustain a economy
03:03and a continuity in that sense.
03:06So, of course,
03:06we have to do a lot
03:07and we always hope
03:08that a high percentage
03:10of what we have done
03:11will go well
03:12and that allows us to continue to float.
03:13So,
03:14it's the new reality
03:15and we have to compete
03:16in the new reality in that way.
03:21We have a good attention
03:22to restaurants,
03:23to hotels,
03:24it doesn't serve much more.
03:27Because,
03:27sometimes,
03:28it's also a...
03:29It's also a...
03:30It's also a...
03:46It's always something
03:47that we have to do
03:50complacently
03:51or
03:51to continue
03:53to do
03:53and sometimes,
03:54it's not easy.
03:56But,
03:56let's say,
03:57it's not a lot of difference
03:57in the day-to-day
03:59and the day-to-day
04:12cinema.
04:12It's a cinema
04:13that needs the money
04:15that produce the cinema
04:16of entertainment,
04:17because that cinema
04:17will not produce
04:19rentability,
04:20it's not a popular cinema.
04:21But,
04:22this cinema of entertainment
04:23also needs
04:24the discoveries
04:25that make this cinema
04:27that make this cinema
04:28of the public
04:29or another way.
04:30The only way
04:31that the languages
04:32evolve,
04:33that the aesthetics
04:34change,
04:35that they adapt
04:36more to the time,
04:37is experimentando
04:38and the experiment
04:39never has been rentable.
04:40But,
04:41this cinema
04:42of the public
04:42always uses
04:44the discoveries
04:45of this other cinema.
04:47None of the two
04:48can live without the other.
