The San Francisco Theatre launches the new Latin American film section this Sunday 20th at 20:00.

It is one of the new features of this fifth edition of the Reino de Leon Film and TV Festival. The Latin American film section, which was intended as a permanent section for the festival in order to bring as much Latin talent as possible to the city of Leon, will present nine films. After compiling a selection of the best short films and documentaries released in 2017 in Latin American, films from Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela were selected.

One of these films comes straight from Peru with the title Mirror Like and its directors, José Antonio Muñoz and Jorge Pablo Quiroz, have crossed the pond to present their work at the San Francisco Theatre at 8pm before the screening.

This will be followed in the same section by the short films “Blanca” from Venezuela, “La Corteza de mi abuela” from Chile, “Pasión Oriental (Oriental Passion)” from Argentina and “Una foto (A photo)” also from Argentina. 

The Official Feature Film section will also open with a screening of the documentary “Los pájaros no tienen vertigo (Birds don’t have vertigo)” at 22:00. Its director, Jorge Peña Martín, will be there to introduce the film. Tickets can be purchased at the San Francisco Theatre box office for a token fee of 2 euros.
