On the 24th, coinciding with the Official Selection screening of ‘El hombre que amaba los platos voladores’, there will be a gathering of professionals from the sector and a showing of the film ‘Traslados’
This year Argentina is the country to which the San Sebastian Festival will dedicate its ‘Focus on’, the initiative thanks to which a group of professionals from a country, region or territory come to the Festival to expand their network of professional contacts and participate in the Industry activities. In view of the exceptional situation affecting Argentine cinema with the paralysis of projects and lack of support from the Argentine Government, this will be a special edition of the initiative, a Focus on + to which, with the participation of the Argentine Academy of Cinematography Arts and Sciences, and in addition to production companies, filmmakers and journalists will be invited.
Along with the delegation, the Festival will organise a day of support for Argentine cinema on the 24th, coinciding with the Official Selection premiere of Diego Lerman’s film El hombre que amaba los platos voladores. The cocktail thrown by the organisation will host the Argentine delegation, who will gather on the Kursaal Auditorium stairs prior to the screening in the Principe cinemas of the film Traslados. The non-fiction film directed by Nicolás Gil Lavedra, which will be released in in Argentina tomorrow, will have its international premiere in San Sebastian and focuses on the so-called “death flights”, “the most cruel and effective way of killing and disappearing people executed by Argentina’s last Civic-Military Dictatorship”. The screening will be accompanied by an introduction and talk by the film team, led by the director himself and producer Zoe Hochbaum.
The 72nd edition of the San Sebastian Festival will show 16 films produced totally or partially in Argentina, in its Official Selection and in the New Directors, Horizontes Latinos, Zabaltegi-Tabakalera and Movies for Kids sections, as well as the aforementioned Traslados. Furthermore, the Festival’s Industry department includes six Argentine projects selected for the Europe-Latin American Co-Production Forum, two works in progress in WIP Latam and one Ikusmira Berriak Project with the participation of an Argentine production company.
With testimonials by former prisoners, relatives and experts, extensive archive material, animations and moving re-enactments, Traslados completes the jigsaw of witnesses, science and coincidences that prove the existence of the most cruel and effective way of killing and disappearing people executed by Argentina’s last Civic-Military Dictatorship in 1976-1983: the Death Flights.
