Chile’s Sanfic Industria Heralds Change in Latin American Cinema
The Santiago International Film Festival marks its 20th edition in tandem with its slightly younger industry section, Sanfic Industria.
Indeed, the horror/fantasy genre of cinema has experienced a surge in productions over the past decade, which we’ve seen at various transversal festivals and platforms, where it has been labeled as the new “Art House Horror.” This resurgence is largely thanks to the emergence of creators and producers with fresh approaches to narrative and aesthetics, moving away from the 1980s style, gore, and psychological sadism. The honorees are John Hopewell, International Features Editor of Variety, who will visit the country for the first time to receive the award; Elena Vilardell, who has been the Technical and Executive Secretary of the Ibermedia I Program, a multilateral financial fund promoting film activities created by the VII Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government, since 1998 and continues in that role; and Bina Daigeler, a German costume designer nominated for an Oscar in the Best Costume Design category for the live-action version of Disney’s “Mulan,” who has also worked with Almodóvar, Jim Jarmusch, Cate Blanchett, and many others. They will hold their advisory councils during Sanfic Industria, and we’ll have three public events, including discussions on “Tax Incentives for Audiovisual Production,” “The Role of the Producer in Current Times” and “Gender, Cultural Diversity, and Sexual Identity: How These Are Important for a Project.”
