La Playa D.C.
Dear Friends,

We are very happy to share with you the news that ArtMattan Films' LA PLAYA D.C. directed by Juan Andres Arango Garcia is Colombia's official Oscar Entry: Best Foreign Language Film.

Tomas, an Afro-Colombian teenager who fled the country's Pacific coast pushed out by the war, faces the difficulties of growing up in a city if exclusion and racism. When Jairo, his younger brother and closest friend disappears, Tomas plunges in the streets of the city.

His search becomes an initiatory journey that compels him to face his past and to leave aside the influence of his is brothers in order to find his own identity. Through this journey, Tomas reveals a unique perspective of a vibrant and unstable city that, like Tomas, stands on the threshold between what once was and what might be.

"Mr. Arango García's camera casually observes several moments - like Tomas's bold make-out sessions with a girl at the mall or some more anonymous bumping and grinding at a dark club - with a spontaneity that rings true." ~ New York Times
