Films in Progress 39 Grand Award
UTAMA by Alejandro Loayza Grisi (Bolivia, Uruguay)
With this film, we are truly witnessing the birth of a very great filmmaker whom we will certainly hear about internationally in the years to come. His exceptional sense of the frame and photography, his back and forth between the vastness of these Bolivian highlands landscapes and the close-ups of the 3 protagonists, allow him to serve a streamlined script and a shameless staging to plunge us from end to end of his film in this so human story between these two grandparents, living alone in the world, surrounded by their llamas and their grandson came to tell them news. His film, of a rare density, shows us the urgency of restoring our ties, our links with mother nature, our links with our elders so as not to forget where we come from and what world we aspire to.

Films in Progress 39 Award
LA BARBARIE by Andrew Sala (Argentina)
With this second feature film, Andrew Sala leads this story as a real thriller with multiple twists in the depths of the Argentina Pampa in a cattle farm. The filmmaker directs his film with mastery until the final outcome brought with intelligence and subtlety. He paints a remarkable fresco of the social classes living in these remote regions of Argentina, a reflection on a world that seems so far away and yet so topical today.

We were touched by this beautiful piece of ethnographic cinema, based on a simple but universal and very sincere story.
Through its characters and landscapes, the film portrays a world that is disappearing, under the fate of climate change and rural exodus.
Sound and cinematography are perfectly mastered, to immerge us into this lost corner of the world, and finally delivers a big and urgent message.
