2007 · 85 min · Colombia


## Synopsis

PVC-1 is a 2007 Colombian drama thriller film directed and co-written by Spiros Stathoulopoulos. The plot was inspired by a true story about an improvised explosive device (IED) being placed around the neck of an extortion victim. The name came from the PVC pipes used for the explosive device. This directorial debut premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival in 2007 as an official selection of the Directors' Fortnight. The 84-minute film was shot in one single continuous take without cuts using a Glidecam Smooth Shooter and a Glidecam 2000 Pro camera stabilization system. The film won numerous awards at the International Thessaloniki Film Festival. The film is based on the true story of what happened to Elvia Cortés, seven years prior.
