Between 2010 and 2011, Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña created the series of short-films “The Third World”. The series is made up of “Padre.Madre”, “EL Templo” and “El Arca”.

They present a savage procession, moving between sacred and intimate, beautiful and horrific, canonical and arbitrary, sublime and bestial. Every film is the beginning of a myth and also its immediate decadence.
The Tale of the Dog is a short film made in five days by the participants of an intensive workshop guided by Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña in Balmaceda Arte Joven.
