David Blaustein
110 min.
23 years ago the mothers of the people who disappeared during the repression carried out by the Argentine military dictatorship began to demonstrate in the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires. Shortly afterwards they were joined by the grandmothers of the babies and children, - the children of those who had gone missing -, that the dictatorship snatched from their families. They are the main characters in this documentary that calls on them to speak so as not to lose the memory of this barbarity.
José Glusman
89 min.
Where can we fix the line separating what is right from what is wrong? This is the underlying subject of this caustic black comedy set in a small provincial town that mixes up rivalries, petty small-mindedness, abuses of power and love in a story with kidnappings and revenge. The first film by a young Argentinian director.
Felipe Degregori
100 min.
A group of young people who have left their adolescence behind them consider whether to join "normal" society or to quickly make some easy money so they can settle in a more prosperous country. Francisco Lombardi's usual partner portrays the problems of surviving in the poor outlying areas of areas of Lima, - a lousy city.
Silvio Caiozzi
140 min.
Based on the book of the same name by José Donoso, this Chilean film focuses on the figure of Don Andrés, the sole heir of a wealthy family. At 58 years of age Don Andrés realizes that he has wasted his life when he meets a young 17-year-old peasant girl who arouses all kinds of secret desires in him. The decadence of the rich family will be matched by Don Andrés's psychological decadence.
Héctor Faver Laguntzaileak/Assisted by/Con la participación de: Patricio Guzmán, Fred Kelemen
95 min.
Héctor Faver, an Argentinian director who has lived in Barcelona for many years, has joined forces with the Chilian Patricio Guzmán and the German Fred Kelemen to make an atypical film. A mixture of documentary and fiction that tries to find a link between three periods: 1973, 1994 and 1999. An interesting experiment in political film-making featuring Juanjo Puigcorbé and the voice of Federico Luppi.
Francisco J. Lombardi
137 min.
This is not the first time that Lombardi has approached the world of Mario Vargas Llosa. It is not the first time that the book "Pantaleón and the visitors" has been made into a film either. However it is the first time that the director and writer have worked together so closely and that the peculiar world of this impeccable soldier, who is utterly devoted to the visitors' cause, has been so well portrayed. Highly entertaining.
Juan Carlos de Llaca
96 min.
A trip to the heavenly town of Acapulco, on the Mexican Pacific coast, ought to be delightful. Of course, that all depends on who goes on the trip and why. This is the story of Rodri and Roco, two teenagers who have to take their grandfather's ashes to the sea in a journey that is to change their lives and will teach them to understand each other. A comedy about growing up and rebelliousness.
Roly Santos
90 min.
Two story-lines are woven together in this film. On the one hand it is a thriller based on a real event that took place in Argentina in the 80's, when a laboratory that had been set up in a remote province created an artificial virus. In a secondary story-line three friends, a woman and two men, after twenty years without seeing each other, meet up again in their village and resume their relationship.
Oscar Urrutia
110 min.
The first film by a young director that he has decided to shoot in Nahuatl, one of the many native languages in Mexico. A photographer who works for the television is drawn into a world of witchcraft and superstition in a story in which he loses his shadow. The naivety of some of the things it puts forward doesn't prevent you from following a really mysterious plot with great interest.
Daniel Rosenfeld
68 min.
Dino Saluzzi is one of the most important composers and bandoneon players in Argentina. He has worked on soundtracks such as Godard's Nouvelle Vague, or Almodóvar's Todo sobre mi madre (All about my Mother). This film follows him around during a European tour and on his return to his home town in Argentina. This documentary reflects on music, art and its roots.
Åsa Faringer
Sweden
75 min.
The house of love in the title is located in Mexico City. For 30 years, since she was 7, Rosa has been a prostitute in the most dangerous streets in the city. She has experience of all kinds of men and situations. This is why Rosa has decided to help the youngest prostitutes to defend themselves from mafias. A documentary filmed in an area that no film crew had ever entered before.
