The 26th Mar del Plata International Film Festival (site), the only festival in Latin America with 'A' status, opened yesterday and runs through November 13. We're partnering with the festival to present a selection of films from South America, ranging from Demián Rugna and Fabián Forte's feature Cursed Bastards, "leading the charge for the next volley of extreme Argentine cinema" (Todd Brown at Twitch, where he's got the trailer; that's an image from the film above, by the way) to a slew of shorts including Matías Canony's Alias, Alexander Katzowicz and David Katzowicz's Versus and Tetsuo Lumière's irresistibly titled Take My Hand! Sticky Bloody Love. Check out the program and enjoy — it's free!
