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.

One way or another, everybody in Mauro Iván Ojeda's début film is living in the past. Bernardo (Luis Machín) has never come to terms with the death of his father, from whom he inherited the titular funeral home. Estela (Celeste Gerez) is still troubled by memories of her abusive first husband, who died in a motorbike accident. And Irina (Camila Vaccarini) longs to see her father again - in fact that's the main reason she's stuck around for this long in a place with a major spirit infestation.
Whilst the film is ostensibly focused on these hauntings and on what happens when a hostile spirit begins to trouble the family, it's really the relationships that lie at its core. Estela feels safe with Bernardo but their relationship is not a happy one. She can't have children and his attempts to bond with Irina are thwarted by teenage resentment. He takes.
