\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When\u00a0<\/span>IFF Panama<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>launched in 2012, the Panamanian film industry was slowly ticking over and the link between Panama and the world of cinema was limited to the occasional U.S. or international feature film shot in the country.<\/p>\n

But over the past 5 years, under fest director, Pituka Ortega Heilbron and artistic director, Diana Sanchez, IFF Panama has secured its place as, without doubt, one of the most important festivals in Central America and the Caribbean. Along the way the fest has also helped consolidate the nascent Panamanian film industry.<\/p>\n

By building a bridge between Central America and the Caribbean, the festival has also helped create a critical mass of films and filmmakers in the region which is feeding into new development.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

These achievements were particularly evident at this year\u2019s 6th<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>edition, as highlighted an increased industry presence and attraction of key filmmakers from throughout Latin America-<\/p>\n

The 3rd Primera Mirada sidebar has already established itself as one of the region\u2019s most prestigious pix-in-post sidebars, screen new films by some of the region\u2019s most dynamic filmmakers.<\/p>\n

This year, the inaugural Campus Latino, organized by the Panama Film Festival, Documentary Campus and the Goethe Institut Mexico brought 13 projects and over 20 filmmakers to the fest.<\/p>\n

The festival also increased its educational program in 2017, including sold-out sessions in Teatro Balboa\u2019s 1,300-seater cinema, and master classes with leading film professionals such as art director Eugenio Caballero (\u201cPan\u2019s Labyrinth\u201d).<\/p>\n

Documentary film production was highlighted by a documentary film funding panel and Campus Latino workshop, focuses on doc projects from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Another panel homed in on the fine line between documentaries and fiction with Chilean documentary filmmaker, Maite Alberdi, Colombia\u2019s Lucia Carreras and Panama\u2019s Ana Endara.<\/p>\n

Alberdi says that instead of a fusion between documentary and fiction there are currently two very highly distinct trends: Some fiction filmmakers adopt a rougher approach to make their films look more realistic and closer to life; several doc directors, including herself, are doing exactly the inverse, using careful framing and editing to achieve an almost-fiction look to their work, as in her recent Down\u2019s syndrome docu, \u201cThe Grownups.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alberdi is currently developing what she calls a film noir documentary, \u201cThe Mole Agent,\u201d about a private detective, that she will shoot in September, she said that in terms of the photography and visual style it will look like a classic detective film, but will be a completely true-life story. \u201cI always loved detective films,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I never found a documentary with a private detective.\u201d<\/p>\n

IFF Panama\u2019s Cine en el Barrio section,another 2017 departure, organized three open-air screenings in different neighborhoods of Panama City among them Lucia Carreras\u2019s \u201cTamara & Ladybug.\u201d Carreras said that she is a big fan of such events, which almost operate like a parallel festival, recalling a presentation she made at Spain\u2019s Huelva Festival in the local jail, which she describes as \u201canother great opportunity to show films to a different audience that normally doesn\u2019t have the chance to see that kind of cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mexico-based Guatemalan Julio Hernandez Cordon was one of Primera Mirada\u2019s three jury members and also screened his sixth feature, \u201cBehind There\u2019s Lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLightning\u201d was literally produced at lightning speed and with an ultra-low budget. The pic\u2019s lead actresses, Natalia Mora and Adriana Alvarez, asked Hernandez to direct the pic and raised the budget via a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, with many sponsors and services-in-kind fleshing out the budget.<\/p>\n

Mora and Alvarez \u2013 who are well known actresses in Costa Rica \u2013 wanted to break with the female stereotypes that they are often asked to portray, in which women are shown as victims of different social causes in highly patriarchal social structures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to make a film in which the main female characters are much more empowered,\u201d revealed Alvarez. \u201cThe can-do attitude behind making this film was part of that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hernandez says that, ironically, the ultra-low budget coincided with his first opportunity to work with professional actors: This enabled him to improvise and develop unexpected dramatic moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis film is an example that will motivate others to fight for their projects,\u201d says Mora. \u201cThere are no excuses not to make a film.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hernandez plans to shoot his next film in Mexico in October, starring his daughters which he says is inspired by a mixture of Mark Twain\u2019s \u201cHuckleberry Finn,\u201d \u201cMad Max\u201d and baseball.<\/p>\n

He is also writing a 13-part TV series, \u201cInvisible Wall,\u201d about middle class Mexican immigrants living in the U.S. that will be shot in English and Spanish. Both projects are produced by Mexico\u2019s Rafael Ley.<\/p>\n

Ariel Escalante, whose \u201cSound of Things\u201d played in Primera Mirada in 2015 and this year screened in the fest\u2019s Stories of Central America and Caribbean section, talked to\u00a0<\/span>Variety<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>about forthcoming project, \u201cLand of Ashes,\u201d directed by Costa Rican Argentinian director Sophia Quiros, and co-produced with Argentina\u2019s Murillo Cine and Chile\u2019s La Post Producciones.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAshes\u201d is a coming-of-age tale, set on Costa Rica\u2019s Caribbean coast. The $300,000 budgeted pic participated in Mar del Plata\u2019s Lobo Lab in November, and won production prizes at Costa Rica film festival in December, and Cartagena\u2019s co-prod meeting in March. It also has Ibermedia .<\/p>\n

Escalante is also prepping his own next feature, \u201cZanfona\u201d which he plans to direct in 2019. It\u2019s a supernatural family drama which Escalante says deals with the \u201chistorical revision of the role of the bourgeoisie in the construction of Costa Rica\u2019s contemporary democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cZanfo\u00f1a\u201d turns on a patriarchal father, a great-grandson of a late Costa Rican president, on his deathbed who\u00a0 suddenly realizes that there is a pack of wild dogs on his estate that have come to take his soul.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to move away from naturalism and move towards more poetic and surreal stories and discuss certain things that aren\u2019t normally discussed in my country.,\u201d Escalante said.<\/p>\n

The desire to use cinema to address pressing political issues in Latin America is by no means new. But many \u2013 often young \u2013 Central American and Caribbean helmers interviewed at Panama openly embraced this goal, including Escalante: \u201cThis part of the world is definitely awakening at a fast pace. The Panama Festival brings\u00a0 Central America and the Caribbean together. Despite our shared history, we don\u2019t make bridges that often. Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala all have parts of their countries in the Caribbean, but usually the poorest, most forgotten parts,\u201d Escalante said.<\/p>\n

He went on: \u201cThis fest says that it makes sense to screen films from Martinique and Costa Rica at the same fest. That makes your head think differently and could lead to very wonderful things.\u201d<\/p>\n

IFF Panama films also bridge Latin and North America, such as Marty Sader\u2019s \u201cMonday Nights at Seven,\u201d which stars and is executive produced by Edward James Olmos, with Mexican actress former UFC Middleweight Champion, stars. Laura Keys co-wrote and produced.<\/p>\n

Sader, who also plays the lead character, grew up in Iran until the age of 13 before moving to the UK where he studied theatre, before moving to L.A.. He describes \u201cNights\u201d as a combination of ultra-method acting and neo-realism, revealing that he\u2019s particularly inspired by Ermanno Olmi\u2019s 1961 classic, \u201cIl Posto.\u201d<\/p>\n

The picture bowed in at October\u2019s Mill Valley Festival, then Miami this March where it caught Sanchez\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cNights\u201d is set against a backdrop of the Mixed Martial Arts. \u201cFight is a metaphor. When we first started this adventure, I didn\u2019t understand the artistry behind the fight. These fighters come into the cage to express themselves. They\u2019re like jazz musicians ripping off each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s selection of films included the first-ever animated feature from Martinique and one of the first in the Caribbean region \u2013 \u201cBattledream Chronicle,\u201d by Alain Bidard.<\/p>\n

The film is set in the 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>century, centering on a young girl slave.\u00a0 Bidard said the film aims provide a distinctive view of Martinique: \u201cThe way French directors show Martinique is really another variant of Orientalism: An exotic location, while our own philosophy and mythology aren\u2019t really explored. What interested me was to introduce mythology from the Caribbean and Martinique. That way I can talk about part of our black slavery history, projected into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Film is partly inspired by Ray Kurzweil\u2019s writings on Transhumanism and the Singularity. The pic will be distributed by Frances Anne Solomon\u2019s Caribbean Tales, with whom Bidard is now developing a $1.5 million animation TV series, based on the same universe.<\/p>\n

In the fest\u2019s closing press conference, Heilbron emphasized that distribution is the key challenge facing the region\u2019s filmmakers and also underlined films potential to foster social and political change.<\/p>\n

\u201cCinema in this region is growing in production volume and caliber. All the films shown in this festival merit broader exposure. Films can inspire people. When someone buys a ticket at the IFF Panama, it\u2019s much more than watching a film, it\u2019s a cultural event.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
