New Films From Iván Fund, Daniel Hendler Headline San Sebastian WIP Latam Lineup


San Sebastian has unveiled the half-dozen titles that will participate in this year's WIP Latam sidebar.

Other past participants include Sofía Paloma Gómez and Camilo Becerra’s “Maybe It’s True What They Say About Us” and “Most People Die on Sundays,” which will screen in this year’s Horizontes Latinos lineup at San Sebastian. Berlin Silver Bear-winning actor Hendler’s third feature as a director, “A Loose End” turns on Santiago, a low-ranking policeman, who arrives in Fray Bentos, a small town just across the Uruguay border from Argentina, escaping from the Argentine police force. A 2022 Proyecta participant, this coming-of-age film tells the story of a teenager forced to start a new life in an isolated rural village that lives under the shadow of a chilling legend about a monster that devours women.
