Bambuco is a Colombian musical genre that could be considered a national symbol and still evokes some kind of patriotic feeling. In Wilson y Los Más Elegantes we witness the birth of a new musical trio, which interprets traditional Colombian songs at family gatherings. The trio is composed of two native guitar players and a foreign singer who does everything possible, and more, to become a local. We follow the main character throughout his complex subjective experience and through the eyes of his bystanders.

We saw Hans Bryssinck at the Beursschouwburg in recent years as a performer, designer, dramatist or artist in residence (including his appearance with the support and research platform SPIN). During Transformers he emerges as a cinematographer.

Conversation after the film:

To celebrate the première of his very first short film, Hans Bryssinck invites the Colombian-German visual artist or ‘Gestalter’ Jan Lotter Benavides for an informal chat following the film. Lotter witnessed part of the creation process and is familiar with the Colombian context. With any luck - in addition to the film and conversation – they might also end up serving empanadas.
