This event will be complemented by an exhibition of Argentinean short movies.

The Ecuadorian movie Qué tan lejos (How far away) and a selection of Mexican short movies will close the 2nd Moscow Latin American Movie Festival, according to Chernyshev.

In the first edition we tried to offer a general vision of what is going on in the movie industry from that region. In this one we try to reveal their main tendencies, highlighted the specialist.

That is why the schedule is made up mostly by the work of young creators, whose aesthetic value has already been well recognized for its participation in important international festivals, he added.

As an example, Chernyshev highlighted the announced Argentinean and Mexican short movies, which were awarded in Cannes, France.

We hope to keep paying special attention in the future to the work of the young movie makers from Latin America, concluded the man responsible for the Moscow exhibition.
