    18th Edition of the Buenos Aires Film Festival Announces Selections

    0
    By Wyatt Phillips on 03/31/2016 Festivals

    This past Wednesday, at a press conference led by festival director Javier Porta-Fouz, Minister of Culture Dario Lopérfido, and Argentina’s Film Institute President Alejandro Cacetta, the Buenos Aires Film Festival revealed the films in competition.

    Opening night, April 13th, will feature Eugene Green’s ‘Le Fils du Joseph,’ while Don Cheadle’s ‘Miles Ahead,’ a Miles Davis biopic, will close out the festival on April 24th.

    Notable guests include US director/author Peter Bogdanovich (‘Paper Moon’), indie director Rick Alverson (‘Entertainment’), documentary filmmaker Penny Lane (‘Nuts!’), and Bob Byngton (‘7 Chinese Brothers’). Bogdanovich will be hosting a retrospective of his work. Then later in the festival, Portuguese producer Paulo Branco will look back at his work with Wim Wenders, Chantal Ackerman, and Raul Ruiz.

    With more than 400 films slated for screenings, two new competitions have been added to the program. One is a Latin American roster that focuses on shedding light on films from the region that haven’t been through European festivals. The other new slate is a Human Rights competition, which is already an existing award that is being transformed into competition all it’s own.
