Julio Cezar Ticona as Elder in Dark Skull. Kiro Russo: "I know that I took a lot of risks because people told me, 'I don't like the movie because I don't like the character'.. But that's the reality' Bolivian director Kiro Russo is fast making a name for himself. His first three short films toured the festival circuit – with documentary Juku winning the Short Film Grand Prize at IndieLisboa. In his first feature Dark Skull (Viejo Calavera) – which picked up a Fipresci prize for Best Latin American Film in Rio De Janeiro and a Special Mention at Locarno – he blends documentary elements with a fictional narrative to tell the story of a young man, who has a problem with alcohol and who finds himself with no option but to take his dead father’s job in the mines.
