ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENEZUELA
Documentary, 99 min
Director: Anabel Rodriguez
Congo Mirador is a small village built on stilts in the middle of Lake Maracaibo, Latin America's largest oil field. "El Ultimo Año de El Congo Mirador" tells the story how several of its inhabitants are dealing with the gradual disappearance of their village as it is slowly turning into a swamp. Even though people are litterally "swimming in oil", neglect and corrosion not only leads to the decay of the village but of people's moral values. One village, one country, sinking in violence.

[...] an exceptional take
on the idea of cultural identity,
the social consequences of migration,
we and the other, unarticulated fears,
and does so in a serious and thorough manner,
yet creating the lightness that is necessary
to be able to digest such harsh issues.
