Alfredo Castro and Martin Lopez Lacci as El Corto and Cabra. Juan Pablo Félix: 'I was clear from the beginning that I wanted to tell the tale using all the genres and all the tools that cinema gives us' Photo: Courtesy of Poff
First-time Argentine director Juan Pablo Félix shows no fear in his feature Karnawal, dancing between coming-of-age, family drama and thriller with sure footwork. Teenager Cabra loves nothing more than dancing the Malambo – an escape from his fractured home life, with his father (Alberto Castro) incarcerated years ago and a new, disciplinarian wannabe stepfather (Diego Kremonisi) wooing his mother (Mónica Lairana). When his father, “El Corto” appears back on the scene, the dynamic of the household shifts, while El Corto also brings threat with him in the shape of habits from the past – threat that, in a particular sting for Cabra, could jeopardise his participation in an upcoming dance competition.

First-time feature director Juan Pablo Félix takes the same energetic, forthright approach to his filmmaking that his protagonist does to his beloved malambo dance - a complex and rhythmic traditional dance from Argentina - with the director's fancy footwork moving seamlessly from indie drama and coming-of-age tale to tense thriller and back again.
Félix - whose film is a strong contender in Tallinn's First Feature competition - begins with social realism, as we meet baby-faced teenager Cabra in his home in the north of Argentina, close to the Bolivian border. A telephone is ringing insistently, a device that Félix will return to through the film as a source of anxiety. More pressing perhaps are the tensions within the home Cabra shares his mum (Mónica Lairana), as her boyfriend (Diego Kremonisi) tries to persuade them to move...

The Hubert Bals Fund (Hbf) of International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr) has selected fourteen film projects from nine countries across Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East to receive post-production, script and project development grants totaling €180,000. In its Fall 2014 selection round, the Hbf provides financial support to outstanding projects from nine established filmmakers, which this year includes award winning Ukrainian filmmaker Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy’s, and five first-time feature filmmakers. In addition, €100,000 has been awarded to Oak Motion Pictures and Viking Film through Hubert Bals Fund Plus, whereby the Netherlands Film Fund provides the funding to Dutch producers who are co-producing a Hbf supported film.
Script and project development
A script and project development grant can be used for the further development of the script or presentation of the project to financiers or other potential partners at (international) co-production meetings or film festivals. Based on his 2012 short "Nuclear Waste," Miroslav Slaboshpitsky’s new feature film project "The Luxembourg" was selected for a grant in this category and tells a gripping tale of love and revenge set against the backdrop of Chernobyl’s nuclear wasteland. Slaboshpytskiy’s previous film, "The Tribe," winner of the Grand Prix, Semaine de la Critique 2014, was also supported by the Hbf and will screen in the Limelight section of Iffr 2015.
Hbf has selected several projects by new and promising filmmakers in the script and project development category, including two debut feature films by filmmakers who previously screened their short films at Iffr. Julia De Simone (Brazil), presented The Harbor in the Iffr 2014 Spectrum Shorts section and Hbf is now providing financing for her debut feature, "Corte Real," a layered hybrid story of the history of slavery in Brazil. Argentinean director Mónica Lairana presented her short films at Iffr in 2010 (Rosa) and 2013 (Maria) and her Hbf-supported debut feature "La Cama" is an intimate and touching portrait of an aging married couple.
Fall 2014 projects selected for script and project development support:
"A Young Executioner," Li Luo, China "Corte Real," Julia De Simone, Brazil "Diamond Island," Davy Chou, Cambodia "La Cama," Mónica Lairana, Argentina "Neonboy," Marcio Reolon & Filipe Matzembacher, Brazil "Shanghai Youth," Wang Bing, China "The Center of the Earth," Gabriel Mascaro, Brazil "The Luxembourg," Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy, Ukraine "The Uunfound (UFO)," Sattha Saengthon, Thailand "To All Naked Men" Bassam Chekhes, Syria
Post-production
A post-production grant can be used for different activities in the post-production process varying from editing to sound mixing. Promising Peruvian director and 2010 alumni of Iffr’s Trainee Project for Young Film Critics, Juan Daniel Fernández Molero, has been awarded a post-production grant for his second feature "Videophilia (and Other Viral Syndromes)," a modern and visually psychedelic take on youth culture in Lima. In total four film projects have been selected to receive post-production grants and all are expected to join the recently completed Hbf-supported films that have been selected for Iffr 2015.

You know... after looking at the stars of the new werewolf flick She Wolf, or Mujer Lobo for you purists out there, we are all in agreement on one thing: Yeah, they can attack us whenever they want... as many times as they want.
Directed by Tamae Garateguy, She Wolf stars Mónica Lairana, Luján Ariza, Guadalupe Docampo, Lujan Ariza, Edgardo Castro, and Nicolás Goldschmidt.
"This is an erotic police story featuring some edgy situations,” says the director. The she wolf of the title is a multi-faced serial killer (played by three actresses- Lairana, Ariza, Docampo). She’s somehow doomed by that homicidal drive, in which she seduces men, takes them to bed first, then immediately to the grave, and later continues on her way. Until, of course, she bumps into a difficult problem.
Check out the Not Safe For Work trailer and more below.

Rosa is a woman who is about 58 years-old that once had a family, husband, kids and now, under some circunstance, is alone. However, sharing details of her biographical story is not the most important aspect of my short film; attempting to capture and carefully witness her daily routine would help to understand and feel what she feels. - Rosa is competing for the Short Film Palme d’Or this year.
