Historical epic “The Flame of Blues,” from Argentina’s Blu Animation Studio and father-daughter relationship tale “My Dad the Truck,” by Colombia’s María Cristina Pérez, figure among 14 titles – half series, half features – at Ventana Sur’s 2022 Animation!.
Further buzz titles take in “Esther,” from Argentina’s Ezequiel Torres, an action-packed coming of age adventure, doc series “The Imposible Future,” by Argentina’s Martin Haas and Antonio Balseiro and pre-school comedy adventure “King Gaston,” from Brazil’s Diogo Viegas.
Now firmly established as one of Latin America’s foremost animation forums, 2022’s Animation! saw an all-time record of 203 submissions.

Belize City, Belize – Mexican films and shorts dominated the winners of the 13th Belize Intl. Film Festival on Sunday in a brisk closing ceremony punctuated by pulsing reggae music performances by the likes of Ras Indio & Boss Lady, Ernestine Carballo and Jah Art.
The event was broadcast live on local television station, Channel 5.
“Guerrero,” Ludovic Bonleux’s harrowing documentary about the disappearance of 43 students and the protests that paralyzed the Mexican state, won best film in the festival’s Collective Memories section.
“You wouldn’t know it, but it’s a feel-good musical,” quipped juror Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, who presented the award.
Mexican short films also beat out other contenders from the region with Toronto-based multihyphenate-juror Nicole Brooks – who showed off her prodigious dancing skills to kick off the event – giving out the best short prizes.
