This Tuesday afternoon is one of the important dates for Argentine cinema. On the one hand, while you can enjoy the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, the South Awards were held, aimed at recognizing the most outstanding titles and workers of the 2019 industry by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Argentina.Among them, “Los Sonámbulos”, of the filmmaker Paula Hernández was chosen as one of the candidates to represent the country at the Oscars. It will be evaluated by the jury of the Academy, which will first write down a list of the nine non-English speaking films shortlisted and finally, the five nominated for the category of Best International Film.
The announcement of the winners of the nineteen categories of the 2019 SUR Awards was made under the protocol for the realization of cultural events outdoors with public, whose objective is to allow the realization of all kinds of cultural event safeguarding health security standards for the participants.
The delivery took place on Tuesday afternoon at the Larreta Museum and its opening had a few words from the Minister of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires, Enrique Avogadro.
