San Sebastian, Spain -- Mexico's Arturo Ripstein, Brazil's Marcelo Gomes and Uruguay's Cesar Charlone will direct the next three films in Spanish pubcaster Television Espanola's (Tve) "Libertadores" eight-film collection.
The collection focuses on Latin American freedom fighters key to their respective countries independence from Spain and is timed to coincide with the bicentennial of most of South America's independence from the colonial power.
Produced by Tve, Wanda Films and Lusa Films, the eight feature films are independent of one another, cost a minimum of €1 million and will be co-financed by local producers from each country -- in addition to receiving funding from the Ibermedia Latin American co-production fund.
The projects will turn on different aspects of various freedom fighter's lives, depending entirely on the scriptwriter and director, according to Wanda Films' Jose Maria Morales.
"There is no connecting thread other than they are all liberators of Latin America," Morales said.

I tuned in to Tuesday night's Tampa Bay Rays/Boston Red Sox game hoping to watch Sox pitcher Josh Beckett carry my fantasy baseball team into the league semifinals. But Beckett was shaky, and I had grumpily turned off the game by the time Fernando Perez, a speedy outfielder called up from the Ray's Triple-a affiliate, subbed in as a pinch runner. Like many, many other Rays players that night, he scored. Two days later, I did notice Fernando Perez, and in a most unlikely place: this month's issue of Poetry Magazine. There was "Para Rumbiar," an essay by a bona fide major league baseball player. And in an era when professional athletes do most their writing on Twitter (if you can even call that writing), his prose is strikingly good: I write from Caracas,...
