Sundance Film Festival 2025
I had the pleasure of joining my partner producing team in their attendance of Sundance Film Festival 2025, presenting the world premiere of Spanish Colombian director Gala Del Sol’s first time feature ‘Rains Over Babel’.
The film was featured in the NEXT category of the Sundance Film Festival.
Produced by sister production companies Gala Del Sol Films & Fabrica Mundi LLC.
The film centers around A group of misfits converges at Babel, a legendary dive bar that doubles as purgatory, where La Flaca — the city’s Grim Reaper — presides. Here, souls gamble years of their lives with her, daring to outwit Death herself.
Steeping us in the intoxicating brew of a tropical Colombian steampunk fever-dream, first-time feature director Gala del Sol creates a mesmerizing, fantastical world where life and death collide and fates turn on the roll of dice. A patchwork of vibrant characters inhabited by an alluring ensemble cast take us on a playful ride of subversions running wild where rebellion is king. Everyone’s personal demons are exorcised on this colorful, retro-futuristic stage as passion and performance promise an escape from heartbreak.
About the director: Gala del Sol is a Spanish Colombian writer-director whose stories revolve around fantastic realism with a punk aesthetic and a tropical twist. She was a finalist at the 2018 Student Academy Awards with her short film Transient Passengers. Rains Over Babel (2025 Sundance Film Festival) is her debut feature.
‘Rains Over Babel’ world premiere took place on January 26th, 2025 at the Library Center in Park City, Utah.
The film was featured in 6 screenings across the cities of Park City, Utah & Salt Lake City, Utah.
