Synopsis

Three relatives of the disappeared travel a long and complex road in search of their loved ones’ remains. They must face the same bureaucratic, legal and social processes that have persisted since the Civil War. Atlas de la desaparición reconstructs what forgetting and repression sought to hide. Through digital maps, archives and forensic architecture, the film sheds light on how thousands of disappeared people were moved to the Valley of Cuelgamuros during the Franco dictatorship. In between the absences and silences, the film shows the constant struggle to get to the truth, to give a name and place to those who were torn from the history books. (FDM)

Director biography

Manuel Correa
Manuel Correa

Manuel Correa is a Colombian artist and filmmaker based out of Madrid. His work explores memory and post-conflict reconstruction in contemporary societies.
Manuel’s work can be characterised as the difficult task of dealing with highly complex and fragile social relationships that come after traumatic experiences. He has used documentary film as a way of bringing people together: by creating meeting points for victims of war, survivors, activists and scientists.
His films have been presented at such places as the Spanish Pavilion at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale, Kunsthaus Graz, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, Tamayo Museum in Mexico, Presentation House Gallery in Canada, MediaLab Matadero and the Modern Art Museum of Medellín.
