Every Time I Die

An hybrid feature film between documentary and fiction that approaches cinema as a ritual of symbolic transformation of death in the experience of 7 trans women. In this film, testimonies are combined with scenes that plunge into the surreal and the fantastic to narrate death from different angles, death related to transfeminicides, only in the year 2021, 36 trans women were murdered in Colombia; social death that seeks to annul in exclusion and silencing the life that makes it uncomfortable; and the multiple deaths that we experience in life, which speak of renunciations, forgetfulness, separations, changes.

Directed by Raúl Vidales, Every Time I Die leans on a strong ensemble — Katalina Angel, Sahory Balaguera, Maria Fernanda Cepeda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2022.
