Institute History
Description
In 1987 Colombian filmmaker Jorge Silva died at the age of forty-six. At the time of his death, he was working on Amor, Mujeres y Flores with his companera, Marta Rodriguez, who completed the film, a chilling expose of the political and ecological exploitation (including cocaine smuggling) which takes place in connection with the production and export of Colombian carnations. You may have forgotten what a powerful impact a documentary can have, but after viewing this one, you’ll think twice the next time you buy carnations.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
