Cuando el dolor habla: Creación audiovisual del perdón en el cortometraje colombiano de terror psicológico el cubo.

Abstract

This project emerged from the need to resolve the most significant internal conflict of my life: the dissolution of my family as a result of my father’s infidelity. The consequences caused by this event planted negative thoughts and unanswered questions within me, leading me toward emotional fragmentation. During a night of chaos, in which I desperately searched for a way out, one possible solution crossed my mind: forgiveness. Without a clear direction and with many unresolved questions, I decided to engage in the creation of a short film that would allow me not only to understand forgiveness, but also to confront my own process related to it. For the development of this project, this researchwas conducted on various theoretical and audiovisual references that made it possible to recognize how this concept had been approached both nationally and internationally, identifying the narrative and technical elements implemented. With this information, we analyzed our own story and identified the key concepts and strategies for its development, highlighting the essence and the message of forgiveness conveyed by the project. At the same time, this research addresses the creative process behind the short film “EL CUBO” presenting, through each stage of production, the motivations, strategies, and experiences faced by the team during the development of this audiovisual work. This entire project was developed through intimate writing, in which my experiences are expressed in the form of a diary. Therefore, it became a process of art therapy, acquiring a distinctive personal identity.
