In bigger picture terms, the major highlights of Ventana Sur were a masterclass by Cannes head Thierry Frémaux and an impromptu speech by San Sebastián director José Luis Rebordinos, heads of the most important film festivals in the world and Spanish-speaking world, supporting the continued existence of Incaa. There words came after Argentinian President elect Javier Milei had vowed on the campaign trail to shutter Argentina’s state-backed film-tv agency if voted into power.
In industry terms, never has Ventana Sur been this big, its final attendance numbers sky-rocketing to 4,300, some 30% up on 2022, beyond even the wildest expectations of organizers, Cannes Marché du Film and the Incaa.
Put that down in part to new sections – Shoot the Book, Fantasmática, and Show Shorts – and enlargement of other sections, such as El Principio del Film and Solo Series. Latin America seems to have a bottomless well of new talent. The biggest reason,...

Buenos Aires — The last few years have caught Ventana Sur – Cannes Festival and Market’s biggest initiative outside France – taking place as the industry debated radical change. This year saw the Latin American industries in a state of transformation themselves, wracked by headwinds – Jair Bolsonaro’s government in Brazil – or looking to take advantage of negative scenarios, such as the Argentine peso plunge against the dollar.
But Ventana Sur is weathering these storms. Expanding from its film base into growth areas for the film industry – genre, animation, and now drama series and social media via a bolstered conference focus under co-director Ralph Haiek – Ventana Sur has evolved into an invaluable fixture in a round-the-year sales and co-production movie business, accelerating trading and expanding companies’ contact bases. Here are 12 Takeaways from a robust 2019 edition:

Sometimes, chic braids do the trick. Other times, only a towering tiara will suffice.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain are currently hosting the President and First Lady of Argentina, Mauricio Macri and Juliana Awada, in Madrid. After welcoming the couple on Wednesday morning, they held a gala dinner at the city’s royal palace in honor of the Argentinian visit.
And for the evening’s event, the always-chic Letizia, 44, broke out a tiara she has never worn before — one with a fair amount of historical significance. The piece is called the Fleur de Lys Tiara and is also known as La Buena.

Former Patagonik TV producer Alejandro Cacetta has been appointed head of Argentina’s national film body after the resignation of Lucrecia Cardoso.
The latter stepped down this week following the recent election of the centre-right Let’s Change party led by Mauricio Macri.
Cardoso had served less than one year at the helm of Incaa and in a statement paid tribute to the former Argentine president Cristina Kirchner and her predecessor and late husband, Néstor Kirchner.
Cacetta becomes the fifth Incaa head since 2003.
According to the Buenos Aires Herald, Argentina’s culture minister Pablo Avelluto said Cacetta’s five main goals would be to: broaden theatre audiences through innovative productions; develop multi-platform content; expedite private investment; ‘federalise’ and promote regional productions through Incaa subsidies; and take local productions to regional and global levels.
His credits as film producer include Pablo Trapero’s Carancho, White Elephant and Lion’s Den.

A senior figure at Argentina’s film body has told Screendaily he does not believe the incoming centre-right government will slash arts funding.
Bernardo Bergeret, head of international affairs at Incaa (Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales) and co-director of the Ventana Sur market that wrapped last week in Buenos Aires, was speaking on the eve of the start of Mauricio Macri’s new term.
Victory in the national polls for the pro-business mayor of Buenos Aires on November 22 ended the 12-year rule of the left-wing, Peronist Front for Victory (FpV).
It also sparked fears among the local film industry that state funding of film and other sectors would decline.
“We will still have funding of cinema,” said Bergeret. “I don’t think there will be any big changes.”
Yet others at Ventana Sur were not so confident. Cambiemos (Let’s Change) party leader Macri ran on a platform of slashing public spending, lifting currency...

Buenos Aires, Argentina — One of Latin America's most influential rock stars is preparing to make good on his dream of playing guitar with a full orchestra in the majestic Teatro Colon opera house in Buenos Aires.
Charly Garcia says the work planned for Sept. 23 and Sept. 30 isn't a rock opera: It's more like something from the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's period. In an Associated Press interview, the 61-year-old musician calls it "a humanistic work that erases the limits between spectator and composer."
Mayor Mauricio Macri's approval for the concert was a vote of confidence for the talented artist with a troubled past. No-shows and drug habits left him in a psychiatric hospital five years ago. Garcia says he also got Yoko Ono's blessing for his latest adventure.
