Carlos Mayolo. The life of my cinema and my television

In this book - "biography of my works" - which he had been darning on multiple sheets and papers during the last ten years of his life, the Colombian film and television director Carlos Mayolo (1945-2007), a true pioneer of national cinema , makes a passionate and vital account of the creation processes of his works and the anecdotes and stories that accompanied them. In other words, he tells us the life of his films; of that cinema “attached to the country”, as he himself describes it; of those fascinating and crazy creations put together from the reality that surrounded him. Because Mayolo, as described by his friend Sandro Romero Rey, who with affection and admiration organized the material that makes up this book, “spoke all languages, rubbed shoulders with the protagonists of the world of cinema without complexes, lived and died without contemplation and so on. , without more or less, he dedicated himself to scribbling and remembering his time in the world.” A precocious creator who in his transit opened paths for the future of national cinema.
