Anina – Special Children’s Section
Beautifully animated and filled to the brim with humour and empathy, Anina is the debut feature from Uruguayan animator Alfredo Soderguit. A multi award-winning film and Uruguay’s submission to the Best Foreign Language Film, Oscar Academy Awards 2014, Anina is a warm, whip-smart film that speaks to both children and adults.
Where: Event Cinemas, George St Sydney
When: Sunday, Sept 7th, 10:30 am
I Still Am / Sigo siendo (Kachkaniraqmi)
A tale divided in three parts – Ayacucho (the Andes), Amazonia (the jungle) and the Coast (Lima, the city) – where they continue to sing in their native language and preserve a unique way of playing their instruments. I Still Am captures the country’s most beautiful and distant locations without turning its back to some of its most pressing social and economic problems.
