This year, a variety of Latin American projects, films and creators will be part of Cannes Docs, a March\u00e9 du Film’s documentary dedicated section, from July 6 to the 15, including the Doc Day’s celebration on the 13th.<\/p>\n

Almost 30 projects from all over the world will be part of the Docs-in-Progress program and eligible for different prizes in cash and services. <\/p>\n

In partnership with Doc in Progress, seven film institutions (festivals, funds or cinematographic organizations) organize an exhibit of a sample, each made up of four feature films in post-production. These films are looking forward to beginning their exhibition circuits in the coming months or even weeks.<\/p>\n

The Chilean documentary, under Chiledoc’s brand, will be one of the seven represented at Docs-in-Progress, presenting titles that examine themes such as memory and native rights’ violations: \u00abBastard. The inheritance of a criminal<\/strong>\u00bb by Pepe Rovano (Totoral Media Lab); and the debut films \u00abMeeting point<\/strong>\u00bb by Roberto Baeza, \u00abEdita<\/strong>\u00bb by Pamela Pollak (Austral Content, Pollak Films) and \u00abUnder Suspicion: Zokunentu<\/strong>\u00bb by Daniel D\u00edaz (Pejeperro Films). <\/p>\n

The Ecuadorian documentary \u00abThe Beach of Enchaquirados<\/strong>\u00bb is presented in Docs-in-Progress as part of the Sheffield Doc Fest program. The film, directed by Iv\u00e1n Mora Manzano, arrives at Cannes after being part of other development and work in progress instances, such as DocLisboa or DocMontevideo’s Rough Cut Lab. Starring Vicky, a transgender fisherwoman living on the coast, this is the fourth feature film of the Guayaquil-based director, who expects to premier his upcoming fiction feature, \u00abYellow Sunglasses.\u00bb<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Project \u00abGod is a Woman<\/strong>\u00bb by the Brazilian director Barbara Cunha is part of the selection made by Circle, a laboratory for projects led by women. Produced by the Brazilian Ch\u00e1 Cinematogr\u00e1fico in co-production with Colombia and Estonia, the film follows Alexya Salvador, a trans Afroamerican indigenous woman who, by defying the orthodox church religious values, promotes a transformation of her community.<\/p>\n

The Spotlighted Projects section shows a selection of 16 documentary projects in different stages of development, including the Colombian feature film \u00abAlis<\/strong>\u00ab. The film is directed and produced by Clare Weiskopf (\u00abAmazona\u00bb) and Nicolas Van Hemelryck (Casatarantula) in co-production with the Romanian production company Defilm and the Chilean Patanlla Cines. \u00abAlis\u00bb, at an early stage of production, has received the support of IDFA Bertha Fund, Sundance, Catapult, Ibermedia and Proimimages, and has participated in DocMontevideo and La Fabrique. This space offers a session of speed meetings with potential co-producers.<\/p>\n

In the program of associated festivals activities, the Brazilian festival \u00c9 Tudo Verdade proposes a dialogue between Jo\u00e3o Moreira Salles and Jorge Bodanzky to document the Amazon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
