Andrés Caicedo

Andrés Caicedo was born in Cali in 1951, wrote plays and short stories from adolescence, and at twenty founded his city's film club, from which he built a film magazine that he wrote almost single-handedly. With two filmmakers and a few others he formed the group that would give Colombian cinema its first school. He detested magical realism and set against it the city, Caribbean music and horror cinema. He took his own life in Cali in 1977, aged twenty-five, on the day he received the first printed copy of his novel.
