The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, are proud to announce a Latin American season which will present a variety of superb titles.

The Latin American Season turns the spotlight on a variety of projects including October, directed by brothers Daniel and Diego Vega Vidal, which focuses on the life of Clemente after he finds a baby.  October is a sharply witty Peruvian film which received the prestigious Special Jury Mention in Cannes 2010.  Another festival favourite is Preludio.  Consisting of one continuous, unbroken shot for its entirety, Preludio is a bot-meets-girl story wonderfully void of any cinematic clichés.  Director Eduardo Lucatero will attend the screening.

Other titles include Nostalgia for the Light. Using the Atacama Desert as a departure point, Nostalgia for the Light, part-documentary, part-cinematic essay, concerns a captivating investigation.  Abel, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, tells the story of a boy who decides to become the father figure of his family in Diego Luna’s debut.  Paulo Trapero’s Carancho is about a personal injury lawyer caught up in a cycle of violence, coupled with an engrossing love story set amongst Argentinians. 

Another anticipated debut screening at the festival is What I Love the Most directed by Delfina Castagino.  What I Love the Most depicts two women in their 20’s pondering their friendship and lives.  And screened to great success at last year’s Cannes Festival, The Silent House is a marvelously unique take on the horror genre, filmed in one single continuous shot.
