An Interview with Columbian Director Duvan Duque - Oscar-Qualified Short ALL INCLUSIVE

Duván Duque is a Colombian writer/director. His work has explored the relationship between the Bogota upper-class, power, money and corruption, as well as the effect these tensions have on the most intimate realms of family and friends.

ALL INCLUSIVE is his latest short film. After its premiere at TIFF, it has become a recurrent title in the international festivals, playing in over 50 festivals and receiving 17 awards. He is currently writing his first feature, based on the themes in ALL INCLUSIVE. 

By shifting the focus from the spectacular tales of drug lords to the emotional ride of a boy who has little control over his fate, Duván Duque offers us a fresh angle on this common trope of the representation of Colombian society.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and qualified to be considered for a 2024 Academy Award after winning Best Drama at Aspen Shortfest.
