Four Chilean films in their editing stage were part of Docs-in-Progress Showcase #Chile at #Cannes Film Festival’s market Marché du Film’s Cannes Docs; Notes for a film, The Fabulous Gold Harvesting Machine, Asteroid 2518, and the awarded Malqueridas, were part of it. This was the third time Chile has been invited with #Chiledoc organizing the participation.

At the event, Malqueridas received the Alphapanda Award, and is the first feature film directed by #Tana Gilbert# and is produced by #Paola Castillo# (Genoveva, Frontera) from Errante Producciones, in co-production with Germany’s Dirk Manthey Film UG. The documentary portrays a group of female inmates who reconstruct their motherhood experiences from prison using videos and photographs taken with forbidden cellphones.

The second time a Chilean film (Lemebel, 2017) has been awarded at Docs-in Progress, the award will now consist of two private advice sessions on cinematographic marketing and social media offered by Alphapanda.
