Las productoras audiovisuales aceleran la carrera por los derechos de adaptación de narrativa local, tanto documental como de ficción, de Born y Galimberti a novelas de Mariana Enriquez y Selva Almada. Decenas de libros adquiridos aguardan el arranque del rodaje.
No tiene la fuerza del espíritu indie 90s de Perros de la calle, el valor revolucionario de Pulp Fiction, o el swag musical de Jackie Brown: uno apostaría a que Los ocho más odiados no figura en el "Top 3 de Quentin Tarantino" de nadie.
Alrededor de los treinta años empecé a creer mucho en esa idea de que en la vida todo pasa por una cuestión de timing. Que la decisión correcta lo es porque fue tomada en el momento oportuno. Que uno se enamora de alguien porque esa persona se cruza en nuestra vida en una etapa en la que todo está dado para que suceda.
Growth remains a constant feature of the Latin American film market, as box-office revenue, ticket sales and local film production keep reaching record marks, even in countries rife with political turmoil and economic recession. Hollywood dominance still is an issue, though, with huge tentpole blockbusters clogging theaters.
Aunque hoy por hoy el dispositivo canónico que opera Cannes está puesto en duda por la mayoría de los críticos de cine (los más lúcidos, al menos), Cannes sigue siendo, institucionalmente, una meca del cine tanto para la cinefilia como para los negocios de la industria que lo posibilita.

El "cine cómplice" de la dictadura ya fue tipificado. Tanto la propaganda más explícita como el cine apologista de Palito Ortega, Enrique Carreras o Emilio Vieyra, con las fuerzas armadas y grupos parapoliciales en plan héroes contra los villanos -como los que describió acá Lorena Álvarez- ya fueron juzgados.
Thai director and Palme d'Or winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul has embarked on a two-month trip trough Colombia to research his next film, which he intends to shoot in the South American country. Frustrated by censorship and a suppressive political climate in his native Thailand, which remains under military rule, Apichatpong set off on March 7 on a research trip through Bogota, Medellin, Cali and Chocó for inspiration.
Un día, el director Santiago Mitre iba a jugar en el mainstream y competir mano a mano con los tanques argentinos.
President Barack Obama went home after his Argentina trip with a special gift from the Buenos Aires Film Museum: a restored print of Native Son, the film based on the acclaimed novel by African-American writer Richard Wright, which is an outspoken denunciation of racial discrimination in the U.S.
French legend François Truffaut's rare short film Los 4 golpes returned home to the Mar del Plata Film Festival in Argentina, where it was originally shot 56 years ago and screened last Wednesday. The pic, a rarity in the director's filmography, was barely seen since it was made during the 1962 edition of the festival and had never been shown in Argentina.
Police burst violently into a domestic scene in the opening frames of Pablo Trapero's foreign-language Oscar contender The Clan: guns flashing, women screaming. It was, sadly, not an uncommon sight in Argentina in the early 1980s, when the film is set.

A foreign filmmaker's first time working in Hollywood can be hard, and French auteur Olivier Assayas (winner of the best director award in Cannes for Personal Shopper ) didn't have an easy run with his next project, heist movie Idol's Eye, produced by Benaroya Pictures, Bluegrass Films and EMJAG Productions.
Spotlight isn't the only recent drama to take a probing look at corruption within the Catholic church. Chilean helmer Pablo Larrain's The Club, which opens in the U.S. on Feb. 5 tells the story of four priests (Alfredo Castro, Alejandro Goic, Jaime Vadell, and Alejandro Sieveking) who live in a secluded home in a foggy seashore town, exiled by the Church because of their sins.
