Ventana Sur’s Blood Window Works in Progress sidebar, along with the event’s Screenings and project pitchings, have firmly cemented the annual event as one of the standout dates for genre cinema in Latin America and abroad. This year, six works in progress will screen as part a hybrid Ventana Sur market which will run Nov. 29 through Dec. 3.
The 2021 selection of works in progress can, in some ways, be seen as a return to form for the event. Over the past several years, the types of films screened in the section have diversified to include science fiction, fantasy and thriller propositions, in addition to the traditional horror flicks on which it was founded. For 2021, however, terror is the name of the game once again, with all six films self-defining as either horror, thriller or a combination of the two genres.
Also notable is the impressive spread of countries contributing to the section.

Running over Aug. 19-Aug. 26., the Santiago International Film Festival (Sanfic) will host the sixth Santiago Lab, a training and promotional event for projects from across Latin America.
This year, 34 titles – 21 fiction and 14 documentary – were selected from more than 300 submissions, a testament to the lab’s ever-increasing importance. It’s also the first step on the production path, made easier with the festival’s support as is the case with Alejandra Hyland’s “Las Demás,” a former Lab participant which is nearing completion and will take place in Sanfic’s 2019 Works in Progress section.
This year’s field features a heavy dose of genre cinema, particularly fantastic, suspense and horror stories. The selection also boasts a near-even split of films directed and/or produced by men and women.
Participants will present to an industry including Mara Gourd from the Montreal Intl. Documentary Film Festival; Consuelo Castillo, director at Doc:co in Colombia; Pablo Guisa,...
