This program is a celebration of Latin American contemporary nonfiction. Of its dazzling diversity, of its much-deserved international recognition, and of its ability to leave one entranced.
In partnership with the Chilean festival FRONTERA SUR, DAFilms brings you twelve new films from their 2024 selection. The great variety of their form, style, length and subject matter is a testament to the joyous liveliness of the nonfiction cinema of Latin America.
"The films that make up this selection were part of the sixth edition of FRONTERA SUR International Nonfiction Film Festival (Chile). They place us, in one way or another, in a gap, which they construct and delimit, and from there they question reality with complete freedom. They invite us to rethink words and things, the language and the world. These works open up new spaces, introducing an alteration in the way we perceive and understand what surrounds us. They allow us to re-signify the past, to observe the present in order to find other ways of relating to each other, as well as to project ourselves in time in order to imagine other possible futures." - Robinson Díaz, Carolina Rivas, Cristian Saldía, the programmers of FS_6
Films from this program are available for free in Latin America until August 15, and are a part of the subcription and available for pay-per-view in the rest of the world until October 1.
