Courtesy of Patra Spanou When director Juan Miguel Gelacio first began listening to the stories of mothers searching for their disappeared sons in Colombia, he thought it would make an interesting documentary. Then, he believed their accounts would lend themselves beautifully to a short fiction film. As the project evolved, Gelacio onboarded his “Jungle” co-director Esteban Hoyos García, who told his friend that the woeful tales of these women needed to be told through a feature film. The result is “Five Years, Four Months,” the first Colombian film to play in the Crystal Globe Competition at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
