\nOCTOBER 7, 2021.<\/p>\n

Before a crowd of filmmakers and journalists, Mexico\u2019s Guadalajara Festival reached an industry crescendo on Tuesday with the presentation of prizes for its Co-Production Meetings which brought producers and directors face to face with potential partners as well as giving opportunities to filmmakers to pitch their projects to industry service companies sponsoring in-kind awards.<\/p>\n

It was difficult to discern any strong trends among favored projects as prize winners ranged from documentaries to features, though fatherless or deteriorating families seemed to be at the core of many of the titles. Recipients hailed from across Central and South America and were about equally divided between men and woman, with some prizes going to teams comprising just female filmmakers a sign perhaps that the legendary machismo of Latin America may be subsiding, at least, in the film industry.<\/p>\n

Top winner was the documentary project \u201cJirafas,\u201d an Ecuador\/Chile co-production in early development, that tells the story of a small Ecuadorian town whose mayor arranges for a giraffe to take up residence at the local zoo. When the giraffe dies, the mayor organizes a giraffathon to raise money to purchase more of the animals. The idea works but sews dissension among the townspeople.<\/p>\n

\u201cMi media naranja\u201d (\u201cMy Best Half\u201d), a Mexico-Spain co-production, picked up three prizes. The project focuses on possible child abuse discovered by neighbors of the perpetrator, leaving them in the precarious position of whether to report something they are unsure of, or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa furia\u201d (\u201cThe Fury\u201d) from Spain, walked away with two prizes. The Barcelona-set film, which is currently in financial development, turns on the unique bond between a brother and sister who have grown up without a father but with a mother who lives on the edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe White Room\u201d \u2013 from Ana Piterbarg, who left to prominence directing Viggo Mortensen as twin brothers in \u201cEverybody Has a Plan\u201d \u2013 picked up two prizes. It focuses on a teen girl investigating her mother\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n

In all, 24 prizes from 13 sponsors from Mexico, Chile and Colombia were distributed to 11 winning projects.<\/p>\n
