A Matter of Faith: Three Films by Luis Ospina

MUBI had the honor of working with Colombian maverick Luis Ospina to present a selection of his groundbreaking work, which was interrupted by the director’s unexpected death in late September. His recent passing leaves behind a career spanning six decades, more than thirty trailblazing films, and the inextinguishable fire of an unmatched faith in cinema. MUBI is proud to show three of the documentarian’s most accomplished films, including It All Started at the End (TIFF ‘15), Ospina’s introspective self-portrait of the influential artists collective he founded, the “Grupo de Cali.”
