Argentine cinema has seen recent recognition at international and domestic film festivals. The documentary ‘La ilusión de un verano sin fin’, directed by Alessandra Sanguinetti, won the award for best Latin American film at the San Sebastián Film Festival. The film, which documents the lives of two cousins over 25 years, was described by Sanguinetti as a ‘love letter to the Argentine countryside’.

Domestically, the 21st edition of the Unusual Film Festival in Buenos Aires concluded with ‘Yo soy Hermes’ by Gonzalo Albornoz winning multiple awards, including Best Film and Best Director.
