LATIN AMERICAN FILM DAYS 2023: The Great Parranda - Historias sobre Gabriel García Márquez

Gabriel García Márquez once wrote: „More than any book, I think what opened my eyes was music, vallenato songs.” Inspired by this quote as well, Hungarian videographer/musician, Eszter Vörös, goes to Colombia alone to see how popular culture of the Caribbean area influenced the world-famous Colombian writer and gathers spoken and sang stories from family members, friends and vallenato musicians who prove that Gabo – as he is called in Latin-America- also had a great impact on their lives. While listening to stories about the writer we can have a glimpse into the life of “El Caribe” and the important cities of García Márquez’s Colombian life through the eyes of the locals and the film maker herself.
