Latin America's film industry is as diverse as the societies that make up the continent, and it is now producing movies that appeal to a wide range of new audiences. The 2010 programme of the Discovering Latin America Film Festival (DLAFF), offered the opportunity to discover critically acclaimed gems and quality entertainment films that until now have remained secrets outside Latin America itself. We aimed to present a broad picture of what is happening in Latin American cinema today and invite the London public to join us in this celebration of Latin American culture.
You could choose from an array of Premiers and Special Events, and we were delighted to present the directors Daniel Burman (Argentina), Patricia Riggen (Mexico), Paz Fábrega (Costa Rica) and Eduardo Lucatero (Mexico) as well as film critic Leonardo García Tsao to continue our exploration of the cinema and film makers of the continent. The contribution of the world's best piano accompanist, Neil Brand, was another definite highlight. In the past few months Latin American films have been honoured with several prestigious international awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Bear. We were glad to offer another chance to see these movies on the big screen.
With films from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, the DLAFF is showcasing a broad and enticing selection from the best of Latin American cinema.
The 10th Discovering Latin America Film Festival will take place in London during 2012.
We very much look forward to welcoming you soon!
