Abstract
ABSTRACT‘Cine en construcción’/‘Films in Progress’ is a film funding initiative at the San Sebastián Film Festival (or Donostia Zinemaldia in Basque), as well as the Toulouse Latin American Film Festival (Rencontres Cinémas d'Amérique Latine de Toulouse) that specifically assists Latin American film-makers towards completion of their films. Jointly organized by these two European film festivals, it was founded in 2002 and is the first time that two European film festivals have united to support Latin American film-makers in need of post-production finishing funds. This article examines the kinds of films that are selected by the jury which they envision to be viable enough to be successful in the global marketplace. The transnational nature of this collaborative film process will be examined in terms of its merits, but also in terms of its unintended consequences that I call the ‘globalized art-house film aesthetic’.
