Vampires, Serial Killers and Human-Animal Hybrids Star in This Year’s Blood Window Screenings for Latin American Genre Features (EXCLUSIVE)


Some of the most exciting upcoming Latin American genre features will screen at Ventana Sur's Blood Window in Montevideo, Uruguay, in December.

Director Matienzo Serment is a thriller and horror specialist who won the 17th IMCINE Call in 2017 with “Escondidas” and the 2020 audience award at Feratum with “Tekenchu,” the short film that inspired his Blood Window feature. In this cosmic horror feature, a strange symbiote creature arrives deep in the wilderness of a rocky mountainside, attracting all kinds of people, from good-natured individuals looking for salvation to bloodthirsty mercenaries looking to snuff out a potential threat. Mejía Carrascal – director of FantasoLab for genre films – is an accomplished filmmaker whose short “La Memoría de los Peces” won a special jury prize at Cairo.
