by Begin Again Films, the clip shows Edgar Kerval, one of the four main protagonists, cleansing themselves with a ceremony in a Colombian river.
The film screens at Tallinn Black Nights, in the Rebels with a Cause competition, alongside 10 other features, all billed as independent films that challenge. After leaving Tallinn, the film will be presented to market atThe doc tracks two complimentary stories around the themes of evil and love. It opens with the daughter of Gladys Rodríguez describing her mother’s possession by an evil spirit, one she wants exorcised.
The second story is a burgeoning love story between Rick Nekro, a well known occultist in Columbia and his soon to be husband Edgar Kerval. They embrace the occult, making it an integral part of their life and aesthetic. Shot in black and white and carefully framed with a static camera, Naranjo’s style has far more in common with 1940s film noir than current fashions in documentary.
Director Naranjo’s background is in documentary, his debut “The Inflated Jungle” meriting a special mention at the Munich Dok.fest in 2015. That film explored suicide within indigenous communities, connecting it to the mythic within its jungle surroundings. It showed an experimental bent which is given greater freedom in “Black Kisses,” which is produced by Colombia’s Dirty Mac Docs and Spain’s Tourmalet Films and Arte Calavera.
