Chile’s Sanfic Industria Showcases a Slew of New Iberoamerican Projects at Its Santiago Labs (EXCLUSIVE)
Sanfic Industria, running over August 18-25, is showcasing a host of promising new Iberoamerican projects, fiction and non-fiction.
“Among our many objectives, we have always aimed to expand opportunities for women filmmakers by equipping them with the essential tools and creating pathways for their success,” said Sandoval, a producer herself at Storyboard Media alongside festival co-founder Carlos Nuñez. Some projects are presented by established producers like Chile’s Lucas Engel, who backed such notable dramas as “Tengo Miedo Torero” and “Los Huesos.” Lauded filmmaker Nicolás Videla, who identifies himself as binary (“Travesía Travesti,” “Naomi Campbell”), is co-directing a documentary about a transsexual vedette in “The Criminal Record of Madame Wittmann.” Costa Rica’s recent Berlinale-winning director Antonella Sudasassi (“Memories of a Burning Body”) produces the directorial debut of Manrique Cortés, “Monsters.” This hybrid documentary blends interviews, fiction, archival material, and past and present narratives to explore the journey of a generation of LGBTIQ+ individuals seeking their place in the discriminatory and violent Lima of the 80s and 90s.
