Event description
Embassy of Colombia Presents: Kings of the World
As part of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Colombia and Australia, join us for a free screening of Kings of the World (Reyes del Mundo), the Golden Shell-winning drama by acclaimed director Laura Mora.
In Medellin, Colombia. Five street-hardened teens embark on a mythic journey after one inherits a plot of land that had been stolen, a fragile promise of escape from violence and poverty. Their odyssey through Colombia’s landscapes blends raw realism with poetic surrealism, laying bare the dreams and struggles of a forgotten generation.
Winner of the San Sebastián Film Festival (2022) and Colombia’s official submission to the Academy Awards, this critically lauded film is a testament to resilience and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood.
Don’t miss this powerful exploration of youth, displacement, and hope—a cinematic mirror of Colombia’s complex soul. In Spanish with English subtitles.
