Last Monday during the closing ceremony of SANFIC 4, Pablo Fendrik received another international award for “La sangre brota” (Blood appears). The Jury of the International Competition, composed by Lisando Alonso, Frederic Boyer and Michael Chapman, chose Pablo Larraín’s “Tony Manero” as best film and Pablo Fendrik as Best Director for “La sangre brota”.

Fendrik had already won the Young Critic Award this year at the 47 Semaine de la Critique. He belongs to a very select group of directors which had the honour of being invited to the Cannes on two consecutive years.

Besides “La Sangre brota”, there were three other Latinofusion films in SANFIC’s lineup: the documentary “Stranded: I’ve come from a plane that crashed in the mountains” by the Uruguayan Gonzalo Arijón as well as Alejandro Brugués’ (Cuba) “Personal Belongings” , both at the “Novedades de Latinoamérica” section. The doc “Lucio” by Heitor Arregui and José Mari Goenaga (Spain) was screened at the “Latitudes y Paralelos” section.

Alfredo Calvino -Latinofusion CEO- was in Santiago for the event.
