CRAB TRAP
(EL VUELCO DEL CANGREJO) by Oscar Ruíz Navia, Colombia/France 2009, 95 min, 35 mm, Production: Contravia Films, Diana Bustamante, Arizona Films.

Set in the Afro-Colombian community of La Barra on Colombia's Pacific coast, CRAB TRAP tells the story of both the drama of a young man, trying to flee his past, and the upcoming clash between a remote village and modernity, represented by two intruding foreigners.

The inhabitants never bothered to attest their ownership of the land they have lived on for many generations, until El Paisa, a landowner who wants to build a beach resort, arrived...
