The program consists of seven feature films in competition, seven films in special screenings and 51 short films, in addition to musical performances, debates, workshops and an audiovisual market.
This year’s honorees are filmmaker Lucrecia Martel, the biggest name in Argentine cinema, and Flávio Bauraqui, a renowned theater and film actor from Santa Maria. In addition to national titles, the selection of feature films brings together productions from Chile and Argentina, several of them new.
“With the theme Latin America, Pátria Grande we want to reflect on the subjectivity produced in a common territory, the result of colonial invasions and looting, whose borders were established by imaginary treaties and disgusting massacres”, assesses Zeca Brito, artistic director of the Festival. “The festival, in its decade and a half edition, revisits a painful past and seeks in art an agenda of collective resistance, the border as a paradigm of affection”, he concludes.
This year, the XV Border International Film Festival has the master sponsorship of Petrobras, through the Petrobras Cultural Program, and resources from the Culture Incentive Law – Rouanet Law, Ministry of Culture, Federal Government. The event has the support of Claro, institutional support from IFSul, URCAMP, UNIPAMPA, UTEC, Destino Binacional, Jornal Minuano and FRAPA. The promotion is by the Municipal Secretariat of Culture of Bagé, the production by Anti Filmes and Maristela Ribeiro Produções, and the creation of the Vila Santa Thereza Historic Center and Associação Pró-Santa Thereza.
