Directed by Lina Rodriguez • 2011 • Canada, Colombia

Part of a series of experimental short films by Lina Rodriguez exploring her sensorial relationship to tourist sites and how their history can be perceived, PROTOCOL is a glimpse of the sixteenth-century fortress walls of the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas in Cartagena, Colombia, built by the Spanish during the colonial era. Through texture and movement, PROTOCOL reflects on physical and abstract manifestations of power connecting the past to the present.
