Chile’s storied tradition in documentary filmmaking dates as far back as 1900 when its first recorded documentary short “Las Carreras del Viña del Mar” tracked its annual horse race derby in the coastal town of Viña del Mar. Its director remains anonymous as were those of many docs in the early part of the century.
It is perhaps Chile’s most prominent documentary filmmaker, Patricio Guzman, who, in his bid to sustain the memory of Chile’s dark history with such compelling gems as three-part “The Battle of Chile,” has helped keep the country’s documentary tradition as vibrant and renowned as it is now.
“A country without documentaries is like a family without photo albums,” he has said.
Now 77, Guzman has a new doc, “The Cordillera of Dreams,” playing at the Special Screening at Cannes.
A plethora of non-fiction films about Chile’s political history continue to be made,...

It's a well-known fact that Iberoamerican cinema, which includes Latin American, Spanish, and Portuguese productions, has had a prominent presence at the most important international film festivals for several years now and several films have been recognized at some of the most important film awards around the world. Colombia's "Embrace of the Serpent" earning the country's first-ever Oscar nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category and Argentina's "Wild Tales" taking home the 2016 BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in English Language are juts two examples of recent victories.
Acknowledging the need for a unified industry in the region and a platform for the Iberoamerican industry to honor and support its own productions, the Premios Platino of Iberoamerican Cinema were born three years ago. Each year the organizing committee selects a diverse group of nominees and invites members of the industry across the American continent and the Iberian peninsula to vote in order to select the winners. The ceremony takes place in a different country every year as a way to include all of the varied industries in the process and execution of the event.
This morning, after considering more than 150 films from a pool of over 800 theatrically releases productions, the final nominees were announced by a group of talented actors, including legendary Mexican-American thespian Edward James Olmos, and filmmakers led by CNN en Español's journalist Juan Carlos Arciniegas. Guatemala's Berlin-winning gem "Ixcanul" received 8 nominations, just as Colombia's Oscar-nominated "Embrace of the Serpent" did. These two gorgeously executed works center on indigenous stories and highlight the rich cultural heritage of Latin America. It's a pleasant surprise to see these two fantastic films get the most love.
Chile's "The Club" and Argentina's "The Clan," films by the two most prolific Pablos working in South America, Pablo Larrain and Pablo Trapero, received 6 nominations each. Larrain's dark tale about Catholic priests with questionable pasts was also nominated this year for a Golden Globe in the Best Foreign Language Film category. Perhaps one of the most surprising, yet well-deserved nominations, was the inclusion of Alonso Ruizpalacios among the Best Director nominees for his brilliant debut "Güeros."
Two films distributed by Pantelion received nomations: "600 Miles" and "Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos." Oscilloscope earned 10 mentions with properties "Ma Ma" and "Embrace of the Serpent." Kino Lorber's "Ixcanul, ""Güeros," and "The Pearl Button" also earned the art house distributor 10 nominations.
Regarding the quality of the films being produced in Iberoamerica Egeda's Elvi Cano said, “This has been an exceptional year for Iberoamerican Cinema, with 826 qualifying releases. Iberoamerican Cinema is alive, growing and stronger then ever.” Renowned journalist and host Juan Carlos Arciniegas added," These awards are starting a revolution and it's my dream, as an ambassador for Premios Platino, that these magnificent films that got nominated today to be seen by all our Iberoamerican audiences. I can't be more proud of what our filmmakers are doing today and if the public don't get to enjoy them, we won't be doing our job"

Stig Bjorkman’s Ingrid Bergman, in Her Own Words, screening in Cannes Classics, has earned a mention. The Hollywood Reporter's Deborah Young calls it "celebratory and revelatory, making extensive use of Ingrid Bergman’s own diaries, personal pictures, home movies, and family members." » - David Hudson...

Artistic director jumped at chance to premiere My Golden Years.
Directors’ Fortnight Edouard Waintrop has revealed he jumped at the chance to premiere Arnaud Desplechin’s My Golden Days at the parallel section’s 47th edition (May 14-24), describing it as the French filmmaker’s best work to date.
“When you see films like those of Desplechin and Garrel, you don’t think twice, you invite them immediately,” Waintrop told ScreenDaily after the line-up announcement on Tuesday, also referring to Philippe Garrel’s In the Shadow of Women.
Both films – and in particular My Golden Days – had been tipped for a slot in Official Selection.
Waintrop would not be drawn on the fact they had ended up in Directors’ Fortnight.
“Why weren’t they selected elsewhere? Ask ‘elsewhere’,” he said.
“My Golden Days represents Arnaud Desplechin’s best work to date and it’s rather incomprehensible that it’s not ‘elsewhere’ but that’s not my problem...
