This year’s Malaga Festival and its industry section’s Latin American Focus are celebrating Peruvian cinema and talent.
A number of Peruvian films are screening in the festival and industry section, including “El Caso Monroy,” by Josué Mendez, and Leonardo Barbuy’s debut feature “Diógenes,” which unspool in the fest’s main section and Zonazine sidebar.
As a meeting point for producers and directors from Latin American and investors from Spain and the rest of Europe, the Malaga Festival Industry Zone (Mafiz) serves as a key hub that promotes the co-production of Latin American projects aimed at the international market.
For Barbuy, the premiere of “Diógenes” in Malaga brings it full circle.
“The project passed through Mafiz in 2019, which opened up a series of opportunities for us,” the director tells Variety. “It was clearly an important showcase for the project. We were able to make contacts that bolstered the project.
