Ventana Sur in Montevideo: ‘Romulus’ Director Fede Álvarez and Other Industry Stars, Buzz Titles and What Uruguay Brings to the Table
Co-hosted by Cannes Marché du Film, Ventana Sur will frame features that go on to A-list festival premieres.
Seen from the 14th floor of its Radisson Hotel, Montevideo’s skyline, bristling with white marble high-rises and monuments, looks like a very different scenario for Ventana Sur, Latin America’s foremost film-TV co-pro forum and market, relocated from its chic Buenos Aires setting for the first time since 2009. Ventana Sur can put Uruguay on the radar as a content player, says Diego Robino, a co-founder of Latin America’s Cimarrón, a Mediapro Studio company, which has serviced “Amsterdam” for HBO, “Cometierra” for Prime Video and “Las Maldiciones” for Netflix. The Latam TV Market now boasts a workshop, run by 3Pas Studios’ Leonardo Zimbrón, but also a project platform including “Expediente Letelier,” from Felipe Carmona (“Prison in the Andes”), a hybrid doc series helmed by Rafael Valdeavellano (“Chicago Boys”) and Nicolás Acuña (“Besieged”).
