Welcome to the BAM!

This year, the Bogota Audiovisual Market (BAM) celebrates its ninth edition, positioning itself on the agenda of the major film events and consolidating itself as a must-go for producers, directors, entrepreneurs, emerging talents, students, and other representatives of the audiovisual industry.

Proimágenes Colombia and the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce welcome you to this event which turns Bogotá into an epicenter for audiovisual deal making. BAM has grown exponentially in recent years in the number of accredited attendees, scheduled activities, and successful negotiations.

For this edition, the guest country of honor is Spain. With the support of the Spain-Colombia Culture Focus, the BAM will host an important delegation of Spanish audiovisual professionals who will be in city to explore business opportunities. Professionals from close to twenty other countries will participate as well, in addition to 1400 national accredited attendees who will be coming together to exchange experiences over the five days of the market.

The content chosen to be part of this ninth edition has undergone an exacting selection process, which guarantees the event’s high level of quality. A considerable number of projects were presented in response to various open calls, with close to 600 applications. In the post-production stage, we have 13 films that will be screened before sales agents and festivals. The Videolibrary boasts 100 titles of finished content re- presenting Colombia’s most recent audiovisual production. In addition, the BAM features 28 film projects and 13 television projects in development looking to connect with potential co-producers and investors, 54 young talents in the Bammers program, 12 scripts, and 14 festivals, all participating in a market replete with opportunities. For the first time, we will be providing a new space for exhibition for 10 winning projects of the New Media Open Call, organized by the Ministry of Technologies and Communications and Proimágenes Colombia.

During the week of July 9 to 13, the BAM will offer various activities and programs that will make the market an enriching experience. We will have 10 academic talks on trends and key issues in the audiovisual industry. For the third time, we will present our BIG TOP exhibition fair, where companies can continue to promote their products and services. The new BAM Forum will host a rich thread of academic and promotional activities. The TV Lounge remains as a special space for television and multiplatform content, and this year it will be presenting children’s television projects from the Claves Alharaca program by the Ministry of Culture.

We would like to especially thank the National Council of Arts and Culture in Film (CNACC), for its significant investment in the BAM over all these years. As well as the support of the National Television Au- thority, Caracol, CineColombia, BMW, Idartes, Bogotá Secretariat of Culture, Recreation and Sport, Señal Colombia, as well as the Spanish institutions that support us this year, such as the Spanish Embassy in Colombia, Acción Cultural Española, and the Spanish Institute of Film and Audiovisual Arts. We express our gratitude to the allies who continue to support us and many others who join us in this great effort to strengthen the Colombian audiovisual industry.

La Autoridad Nacional de Televisión está trabajando para fomentar la industria audiovisual del país, financiando contenidos y producciones de nuevas series de televisión, apalancando las iniciativas de la TV pública.

Her eldest son, Elías, is deemed fit for compulsory military service and assigned to a remote battalion in a reputedly dangerous region.

Amparo’s carry a gun seems to lay with a man who can fix the eldest son, Elías, is deemed fit boy’s military status illegally. But the cost of this process for compulsory military service is beyond the family’s means. and assigned to a remote and Amparo tries everything she can think of to come up a dangerous battalion. Despite the with the money but is ultimately unsuccessful. Amparo’s fact that her boy is difficult to deal son blames her for all his troubles, and as past tensions resurface, Amparo seems to be left with just one option:

with, Amparo will do everything b within her power to prevent her the man’s final offer. Amparo must decide between son from being taken away. letting go of her son or handing over the only thing she has left to give.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE The story is based on an event from my life: the time in my teens when I had to present myself for compulsory military service and how I blamed my mother for not having the economic means to be able to keep me from having to go to the army. I still have feelings of remorse for not having understood, back then, the efforts of a single but fierce woman who was responsible for three children. I built from the experiences I had with my mother to develop a story that would allow me to tell an everyday and personal story. My interest is for this story to be about family relationships, emotions, and universal human values.

When she gets to her sister’s house, the door was open. Lucymar enters the room and sees her dead sister on the floor. In a corner of the room, and with a blood stain on her pants, is Yuli (11), Leidy’s daughter.

She will try to distance her from a world of migrants, she will try to b repatriate her sister’s body and that will become increasingly impossible to avoid. take care of Yuli. DIRECTOR’S NOTE We are Iván (Chile) and Sebastián (Colombia). We met at the EICTV, and we created a relationship of brotherhood that led us to think about the need to build a project together. Calama, the city where Ivan was born, was populated from one moment to another by Colombians. They paid the cost of intense discrimination. We inves- tigated and lived in Calama. We experienced racism and realized there are no Chilean or Colombian fiction films that addresses racism in Chile towards Colombians. The challenge is to show the experience of migrants through two women, a mature one and another who has lived perhaps much more but who is still a girl. Bad Mother is a film about survival, family love, and how difficult it is to be a migrant in a hostile and arid land.

BENEATH THE SAND BAJO LA ARENA

Director Genre Steven MORALES Fiction Producer Running time Gabriel GONZALEZ 90 min Production company Director’s first film Yes Paralelo Producciones Ltda. Producer’s first film No

SYNOPSIs Alejo (33) and Carina (34) are in a marriage in crisis. He enjoys sex with other men, supressing all feelings towards them because he doesn’t believe in homosexual love. She, although a loving mother, yearns with some guilt for the days of freedom when travelling around the world wasn’t just a dream but a possibility. Because of their 6-year-old son, they decide to give themselves one last chance even if m that involves denying their own desires. The story takes place during the Barranquilla Carnival, a festival of no inhibitions where barriers and prejudices are buried under costumes. But Alejo and Carina want to flee from the revelry and seek shelter in a beach house. The return of Eduardo, Alejo’s high school sweetheart, a Alejo has sex with men, but he is the first excuse he finds to head back to town. The four days and four nights of Carnival become a handful doesn’t believe in homosexual of comings and goings between the city crowds and the love. Carina adores her young sandy beach, between the fear that keeps the masks in b child, but misses her days of place and the urge to remove them and find out who freedom. At the Barranquilla they are beneath. Carnival, the young couple consider removing the masks DIRECTOR’S NOTE they wear. People from Barranquilla are typically cheerful, but I grew up being different, an introvert with secrets. I ran away from the city to come out of the closet and that is how I reconnected with a sense of happiness that now allows me to enjoy the carnival. This film is an ode to freedom of expression, not just for LGBT community but also for women. It is a contained and provocative drama about sex, love, and human relationships that defies conventional ideas of family. Using minimalist aesthetics, this film highlights the inner lives of the characters who are in pursuit of beauty amidst their crude story. Open spaces provide counterpoint for the characters’ inner prisons and earth tones contrast with the colors of the carnival. Soft, traditional gaita music provides an antithesis to the joyful carnival dances.

CHANTS THAT CANTOS QUE FLOOD THE RIVER INUNDAN AL RÍO

Director Genre Germán ARANGO Documentary Producer Running time Ana María MUÑOZ 52 min Production company Director’s first film No Pasolini En Medellin Producer’s first film Yes

SYNOPSIs Pain and death have always navigated alongside Oneida Orejuela (55). The river took away her leg along with many of her friends and neighbors and made her childbirths more difficult. Nonetheless, that same river gave her a cure against a snakebite, the alabados (African-Catholic funerary chants), and the ability to write music about the joyful and fatal events of her m region, Bojayá. Now her mind and her words delve into memory to speak of what is hardest for her as a woman to discuss: her own existence. This is not a biopic or a chronological account. This is a composer’s creative trip into herself and the epiphanies A vital chant is delivered by pain and evocations she finds in her surroundings and her a and death. Who has the body and daily life. The viewer will be able to travel through this the voice to carry it? introspection, through dreams and nightmares, through ravings and situations that have marked and still mark Oneida’s experience by the river, situations that she b must weave into song to achieve that alabado.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE Whatever is familiar always seems distant to us. When we first asked Oneida to sing to the river, she said that it was easier for her to write about the massacre of Bojayá, since it immediately detonated song and made her into a composer, “but the river has always been there.” At that moment I set aside the ethnographic notion of explaining the river’s importance and discovered that it runs across Oneida’s life, leaving deep marks on her body. Only through the chants, delivered by her ancestors’ spirits, could I approach that story. In our current period of post-conflict, cinema about the victims is necessary. However, I do not want to think of Oneida as a victim. Instead of digging into the fatal events she lived, I want to understand the strength with which she has faced them.

It is a film about the relationship between a man and DIRECTOR’S NOTE b a woman in a period of transition between war and peace. I met Yimarly and Cristian in September of 2016 at the Xº FARC-EP Conference. They had recently come out of the bush and were very uncertain about their future. I met them again in April of 2017 in the demobiliza- tion area of Colinas, in the department of Guaviare, a few months after they returned to civilian life. Both are now committed to living their new life together. Although in the same country, I grew up in a very different social context, but talking to them has allowed me to understand that love is a universal feeling that is stronger than any circumstance. This is a film about love between two people who, after surviving a war, are facing a world that does not know how to interpret their relationship. The future of Yimarly and Cristian is as uncertain as the future of Colombia.

the siblings have taken different paths, but their stories a still run in parallel and tell us about the struggle for survival in a country marked by social injustice. It is in the face of adversity that the true riches of human beings b (values such as love, solidarity and family unity) become the characters’ strength and fortune.

SYNOPSIs For Yilmar Leandro Gónzalez, a African-Colombian fighter and gardener of his neighborhood’s cementery, life is full of contrasts: with the same hands he punches his contenders in the ring and nourishes the life that grows amidst the graves. As a boxer, he has won the national championship and other prizes. He is considered to be a promise for his region and m the country. Every day after practice, he takes off his gloves and becomes the gardener at the nieghborhood cementery in Siloé, Cali, where his alcoholic mother and sibilings live as well. Yilmar does not fear death; he fears defeat and oblivion. This is not a movie about sports, and neither is it about death by violent means. It is the a story of a man that decides to fight for his future and the future of his community, a protrait of the role of a sports star in our country, who even when out of breath must still go on, against all odds, planting flowers on the b fragments of a society without government.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE The documentary portrays events from Yilmar’s point of view. The cinematography is caraterized frame-to-frame by an contemplative and sensitive style, building metaphors through Yilmar’s tales and actions which will convey to audiences reflections on death, fight, family, and life. The intention is to build an aesthetic enriched A cemetery made of promises by the purity and reality of the actions that occur in this universe, generating a code of its own. To this end, we constructed a series of rules that we intend to follow fully: Each shot is a scene, there are no supporting shots. We will not use interviews or narrator voice overs. The dialogues are conversations betwen characters. Each shot will have a script or a plan that silently marks what the camera discovers, structuring the shot from beginning to end.

SYNOPSIs Manizales, Colombia. A provincial capital nestled at the top of a mountain. The public water company’s supply has been suspended because of a mysterious explosion. In this thirsty city arrives Johnny the Leper, a young assassin, on a mission to commit murder. It is also the chance for him to meet his father and start

a new life. His objective is a journalist, Angela Burgos, m who is obsessed with telling off the powers that manage the city and in particular the political chief Olimpo Arcila. For Gabriel Soacha, a prosecutor’s investigator, the discovery of a strangled taxi driver is more that just another case. His friend Angela will put him on the right track. Johnny’s mission, his hunt, will be the a point that connects these three stories. With a double narrative time, that of murder investigation and that of A young killer looking for the stalking, Leper tells a story of parents and children, redemption.

Three stories intersect The theme underlying Leper is the impossibility of in a thirsty city haunted by changing the past and building a better future. The first hallmark of the film’s style is its fragmented structure corruption. that switches between past and present, a jigsaw puzzle that the audience will assemble as the story unfolds. That idea of doom is one of the characteristic features of the movie’s genre: film noir. Even if the story is an intimate drama almost as much as it is a police thriller, I want to use the codes of the genre to create a mood, a tone, an atmosphere. Leper talks about the relationship between fathers and sons, the need for redemption, and the tragic fate imposed by the past. These are universal issues that will be used to describe a country that urgently needs to look at itself through this mirror or window that we call cinema.

For me, my grandfather still lives in the streets of the city center, in the traces he left in the buildings he designed. For the last few years I have been exploring the city center with photos of his buildings from a rescued archive. I have spoken with the residents of the buildings I discovered about the changes in their neighborhoods and in the city, about their lives in those places. With this documentary, I want to share the experience of discovering the hidden city, the ideas and utopias behind it, and what it means for the identity of a city to rescue and set up a dialogue with its past.

SYNOPSIs Beatriz, a young privileged woman from Bogota, has to earn the trust of her estranged aunt in order to survive the consequences of her personal and financial failures. She will learn to overcome obstacles and will discover the motivations that truly drive her life.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE m Palos Verdes is the story of two rebels, one with cause and other one without. The first time I truly felt rebellious in life was when I started searching for the true motives that drive my life and stopped moving against the world as I escaped from my frustrations. I think we

all have these two types of rebels inside. We sometimes a move against the current because we are not able to face adversity. Other times we are moved by the need to find the missing piece of the puzzle to add some coherence to our existence. Beatriz and Elvira are the embodiment b of these two forces that seem opposed but are often the same. Being different and at times contradictory can help us change and grow. This story is about the need to constantly conceal duality, and how this is only possible through forgiveness.

SYNOPSIs This is an important story that needs to be told. It is the story of a man who, tired of listening to the lies of the global economic system, decided to sacrifice his freedom in an attempt to make the world a better place. This man is Enric Duran, also known as “Robin Bank”, a Catalan activist who committed one of the most resounding robberies of the last decade. Over the course of almost m three years, and after having meticulously studied the banking system, he took out loans of half a million euros from thirty-nine banks, which he never paid back. The journey starts in 2005 when Enric created a fake

persona: a computer engineer, with a fake contract and a payroll of 2,200 € per month. Using only a fax, an old mobile phone and his IQ of 150, Enric set up a strategy to defraud the first bank. For the next three years, he b replicated the mechanism, reinvesting the money and accumulating a total 492,000 €. In 2008, Enric made his action public in a document.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE “Economics is the method. The objective is to change the heart and soul.” This quote by Margaret Thatcher sums up the importance of economics in our society.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE La piel más temida is the second film of a planned political trilogy that focuses on the years of internal a conflict and political violence in Peru (1980-2000). Our intention, however, is not to tell stories set in that period or stories in which the conflict itself is

foregrounded or functions as the main storyline. We b are more interested in telling contemporary stories where the circumstances of the past reverberate like a background echo that nevertheless impacts and shapes current actions and experiences. Our idea is to have a central character in each of the three films who becomes emotionally connected to one of the three main protagonist of the violence of that period: the Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru (MRTA), A journey of self-discovery. Sendero Luminoso (SL), and the Armed Forces.

Director Genre Raúl SOTO Documentary Producer RUNNING time Yira PLAZA 70 min Production company Director’s first film No Cfa Mundo Austral Producer’s first film Yes

SYNOPSIs After being buried, Alejandrino Carupia, the most important jaibaná (shaman) of the Amburá Indigenous Reservation near the municipality of Urrao, Antioquia, came to his 70-year-old wife Teresa Bailarín in dreams, asking for her to transfer his body through the tropical Andean jungle to the cemetery of Urrao, at a distance of three days’ walk. Five months ago, Teresa unearthed m Alejandrino with the help of two of her children and found his corpse to be intact and dry like a dead cricket. Since then, she has lived with him in his old ruined tambo (jungle hut), waiting for Joselito Carupia, his apprentice, to integrate a commission of jaibanás, some comuneros, and the inidgenous guard to take the a body to its second funeral. In the community there is resentment because there is a belief about the spirit of the jaibaná: if he returns from death he will turn into an aribadá, a being that harms crops and causes illness b or death. For now, Joselito has returned and brings good news for Teresa.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE The story of Alejandrino Carupia, who asks his wife Teresa in a dream for a second burial, is a major event for a family of shamans and their community. Teresa guided the preparations and the ceremony to rid her husband of In Emberá time, life and death of the spirits who were holding him back and not allowing him to advance towards his karagabi (the Emberá beings are dimensions that are sky). The community got drunk to lose their fears. In held together by dreams. In death, the midst of the pain, grief, and forgiveness, they said goodbye to Alejandrino on the way to a cemetery in Alejandrino comes to his beloved western civilization. My interest has been to understand Teresa in a dream to ask for a why Teresa did everything within her power to fulfill her husband’s wish after his death. I found a story of love, second burial to free him from the loneliness, and forgetfulness; the indigenous history of a pain of his death. nation, which turned its back on its own identity.

They got married in Argentina and decided to start applying for adoption in Colombia. After several legal battles, they were finally deemed physically, morally, socially and mentally fit to adopt a child by the Colombian m family services. There are 27 families ahead of them on the waiting list, but their answer to one of the questions on the adoption form changes it all: Diego and Michael are the only one of these 28 families willing to accept a baby of a different skin color. This small but decisive and powerful gesture - ticking a box in a a form - allowed them to become the first gay couple to ever adopt a child in Colombia. This documentary film asks questions about diversity, discrimination and the challenges of growing an unconventional family. While b the outside world debates on how a decent family should be, Michael, Diego and Emma begin their life together as a family.

This experimentation ultimately causes her record label to cancel her contract. Scott, an indie manager, suggests an Eco-rehab facility in Colombia that uses traditional plant medicine Ayahuasca healing ceremonies, and nature adventure activities to m help restore patients. When the Ayahuasca has adverse effects, Grace finds herself alone in the rainforest. An uncontacted indigenous tribe hesitantly shelters her and Guatea, a respected tribe member, initiates her to the ways of their tribe and their connectedness to nature. This journey remedies Grace’s amnesia, yet mystical a revelations reveal that the current environmental crisis and the chemical imbalances in her brain are inherently woven. A higher power summons her to take action, resulting in a controversial death. b

DIRECTOR’S NOTE Lianas is a film about equilibrium.

he had done it for "love". I have always been interested b in the stories of self-deception; we continuously lie to ourselves to continue living. The teacher must be a black comedy in the style of Alexander Payne or the Coen brothers. Another reference is Aki Kaurismaki's cinema with its dry and ironic tone and his visual style. Other references are the bittersweet comedies of Cohn and Duprat’s ‘El ciudadano ilustre’ and Veiroj’s ‘La vida últil’. Everything went well until he reached thirty, and that’s when everything started to go wrong.

THE PROFESSOR EL PROFESOR

Director Genre Daniel CASTRO Fiction Producer RUNNING time Jaime GONA 90 min Production company Director’s first film No Gonita Filmación Producer’s first film No

SYNOPSIs Inspired by a true story, The Professor tells the story of Carlos, a veteran professor at the Catholic University of Navarre that falls in love over the internet with Claudia, a Latin American model 45 years younger than him. Although Claudia repeatedly refuses to speak with him on Skype and only wants to communicate by email, Carlos does not doubt that the model is who she claims m to be. Unlike you, he believes that Claudia is completely in love with him, desires him sexually, and that they will be utterly happy together. His few doubts dissipate when Claudia insists on paying for his trip to one of

her photo shoots in South America to meet in person. a Despite the fact that the trip involves neglecting his elderly mother and weakening his position at the university, the old professor sets off on an b adventure: his love and his foolishness have no limits. Unfortunately for Carlos, and fortunately for you, The Professor is a comedy as bitter and real as life itself.

THE WEST INDIES FLEET LA FLOTA DE INDIAS

Director Genre Antonio PERÉZ Documentary Producer Running time Valérie DELPIERRE 80 min Production company Director’s first film No Inicia Films Producer’s first film No

SYNOPSIs The arrival of Christopher Columbus in America made it possible for two previously separated continents, void of the other’s influence, to discover one another and connect. However, the word connect is surely more of a historical illusion that we hold today than an accurate description of what occurred. If any true connection were to be effective it would take several centuries, but m more importantly, it would require an umbilical cord. That umbilical cord was the Spanish treasure fleet.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE I began to take an interest in the Spanish treasure fleet a while researching a documentary project about Veláz- The bridge between two worlds quez. In my search for information I became aware of the critical importance that the arrival (or lack thereof) of the Spanish treasure fleet in Seville would have for b the Spanish monarch. Through research focused speci- fically on the system of the ships, I finally understood the degree of significance that the Spanish treasure fleet had on the history of America, Spain and even the rest of Europe. I discovered a reality that was slightly different from what is so often portrayed in movies, books and documentaries. The pirates of the Caribbean, a group with the most diverse nationalities and characters, did without a doubt attempt on infinite occasions to seize control of the Spanish ships crossing the Atlantic. For nearly 200 years tight Spanish control over the seas secured an extraordinarily effective system of cargo and passenger transportation between America and Spain.

Director format Diego Fabián AVENDAÑO Fiction Producer Running time NUMBER OF EPISODES Yamyle RAMÍREZ 25 min 5 Production company Director’s first film Yes Corporación Creandes Producer’s first film No

SYNOPSIS “Mysteries of the Mountain” is a 5-episode television series inspired by the myths of the farmers of the Colombian Andes. Each 25-minute episode tells a self-conclusive story in which the main characters are faced with fantasy and mystery situations. The viewer is taken into the depths of the mountain to discover the most inscrutable secrets and enigmas where fear m and restlessness torment the souls of those who dare to challenge it.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE “Mysteries of the Mountain” brings stories of superna- a tural experiences lived by farmers who have attributed the inexplicable to a kind of sacred phenomena. In this context, fantasy and mystery are conditioned by

the use of permutations. In this sense, our stories are b based on a mythopoetic thought that is always connected to a rural environment. This relationship is, in its essence, the validity of mankind’s life itself, where unexplained things becomes tangible and coherent or, in other words, where an underlying reality becomes part of the triviality of everyday life of which social norms usually excludes it. “When the mountain reveals its mystery, there will be no escape”.

SOUND ACTIONS ACCIONES SONORAS

Director format Diana TRUJILLO ROCHA Documentary Producer Running time NUMBER OF EPISODES Andrés Felipe MUÑOZ 24 min 6 Production company Director’s first film No Fundación Algo en Común Producer’s first film No

SYNOPSIS Everything can become music: a book, a first love, a nearby conversation, the call of a street vendor or even the aroma of homemade food. Sound Actions tells these stories procured from the reminiscing and anecdotes of Colombian musicians. This series presents 6 episodes of 24 minutes each per season. Each of them features a different composer who acts as a connecting m thread of the story. There’s a key question: how does a person’s social, religious, political, geographical, or personal context influence what they create? The characters talks about a creative search or an inspiring find that catalyzes a musical creation of his or her own, but also of the conditions that surround, affect, and a give rise to the work. The viewer is invited to meet the people, places and sociocultural expressions that take part in the process and to witness how the context changes under the musical gaze of the artist, because b in terms of narrative and aesthetics, each place will be told through its sounds. Everything can become music. DIRECTOR’S NOTE A documentary about Herbie Hancock was the inspiration for the show. During an interview, he described his childhood in Chicago and the man who sold watermelons in his horse-drawn wagon. Those neighborhood sounds were the source of his most powerful melody. For over ten years I have been working in the audiovisual industry as part of the content department. The non-fiction universe has been the place where I best fit. My job—whether in script, research, or production—supported other creators’ perspectives of the world. I have learned a lot from them. For several years now, I have been developing a project that shows my own perspective, building stories around Colombia’s many cultures with music as a guiding theme. This is my first time as a director.

Director format Dafna VALLEJO Animation Producer Running time NUMBER OF EPISODES Aseneth SUÁREZ 5 min 14 Production company Director’s first film No LaPost Estudio Producer’s first film No

SYNOPSIS Papa Bla-Bla (“Blah Blah”) and Hijo Jojo (“Sonny Hee Hee”) are a father-and-son duo who read stories for kids together, adding special effects to them. Bla-Bla is the narrator, and his son makes the sound effects. In each episode, they read an unpublished Colombian story inspired by the mental, physical and social changes that children between ages 2 and 6 experience. Each story is m illustrated by a young, talented artist who is invited to participate in the project; therefore, the characters and settings are different in each episode. Since the show is animated, the narrators are able to create a lush sonic Storytime with Special Effects universe through the use of their voices, who are also responsible for opening and closing each episode. The brings back the practice of read- a target audience consists of families and pre-school chil- ing aloud together, transforming dren, keeping in mind that while young children may this simple act into a fun family not yet be able to read, they still enjoy participating in the reading experience.

It is a transmedia proj- b ect that includes a 13-episode an excuse to discuss learnings and the experience of animated educational series for growing up, which can be both exciting and challenging for children and parents alike. children between ages 2 and 6. DIRECTOR’S NOTE Studies have shown that reading and writing are important tools for learning and express ideas, develop thinking skills and give opinions. These skills contribute directly to a country’s human capital, and therefore, its overall development. We think that reading stories has a positive effect on children overall development. The very act of telling and listening to stories creates a special bond between the storyteller and listeners, where the exchange of knowledge and emotions of a story gain significance. A story becomes meaningful when it is shared and this is a simple act we can’t let fall by the wayside; it must be renewed and updated.

With the dramatic arc of the main plot that occurs throughout the eight episodes, and with the arc of the sub-plots that are also included in each episode, we seek to bring in younger audiences with a hybrid animation and multi-platform format. In order to develop the events where adventure is the main genre, we based our characters on the archetypal figures iden- tified by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and Christopher Vogler as part of the master plot of the hero’s journey, using some of the structural phases of this archetypal plot for our narrative.

The idea is for it to function as an operation center for the time travelers, where users will learn more about the characters, their stories and the cities they are in. They will also have the opportunity to download the “time viewer,” an application that the time travelers use themselves, and that viewers can play with, in order to keep us informed about where they are at in time and in order to follow the trail of the butterfly. This viewer allows users access to the augmented reality of the Trail of the Butterfly comic. The idea is to use the comic to tell the story of Eco’s training process as a new time traveler as well as the stories of some of the mini-adventures of other time travelers that now help serve as her guide.
