Junior tu papá. Director Daniel Díaz

En esta oda al fútbol y a la región Caribe de Colombia, Daniel, un cineasta colombiano-británico, recuerda su primera memoria del deporte que ama: la final del 1993 entre el Junior de Barranquilla y el América de Cali, que vio en un VHS con su padre en Londres. A través de conversaciones entre Daniel, su padre y dos tíos, JUNIOR TU PAPÁ reúne fragmentos de memoria menguante para recordar colectivamente un momento de la historia de Colombia en el que el fútbol era una obsesión nacional. Una distracción de la violencia implacable que enfrentó el país mientras la selección era considerada una de las mejores del mundo.

In this ode to soccer and the Caribbean region of Colombia, Daniel, a Colombian-British filmmaker, recalls his first memory of the sport he loves: the 1993 final between Junior de Barranquilla and América de Cali, which he watched on a VHS with his father in London. Through conversations between Daniel, his father, and two uncles, JUNIOR TU PAPÁ brings together fragments of fading memory to collectively remember a moment in Colombia's history when soccer was a national obsession. It was a distraction from the relentless violence the country faced while the national team was considered one of the best in the world.

Organized by

For many years the film industry in Colombia has often lacked the resources to produce national cinema. Among several setbacks, was the absence of a national audience who demanded Hollywood films. In recent years, Colombia has expanded its resources to support filmmakers throughout the country, since then the number of productions has increased dramatically. Juan Carvajal founded the Colombian Film Festival of New York in 2012. He noticed the small presence of Colombian cinema while visiting New York City. Determined to unify the existing diaspora of the country & new york community he set a goal to create a festival dedicated to the exhibition of Colombia’s roots and talent. Let’s discover and rediscover our story through film!
