Sebastián Lelio, who clinched a Best International Oscar for his 2017 drama “A Fantastic Woman,” Maite Alberdi, twice nominated for her last two docs “The Mole Agent” and “The Eternal Memory” and Pablo Larrain, whose “No” was shortlisted for Best International Film in 2013, “El Conde” for its cinematography this year and a Best Actress nom for Kristen Stewart in 2021’s “Spencer,” will be honored at the festival’s inauguration August 18 for their extraordinary contributions to Chilean cinema, and indeed, the world’s. All three have been recognized by some of the most important film festivals worldwide, including Cannes, Venice, San Sebastian and together have amassed accolades from a slew of critics and awards events. “They represent the Big Three of Chilean cinema, not unlike the Tres Amigos of Mexico: Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu,” said festival director Carlos Nuñez.
