Madrid – Max Zunino’s “Open Cage,” Sebastian del Amo’s “Cantinflas” and Horacio Alcala’s “Grazing Sky” (pictured) are among the first 14 titles that will compete for Guadalajara Festival’s top Mezcal prize.
Hiked in value to 500,000 pesos ($37,000), the plaudit for the best Mexican feature which has its domestic release at the Festival – fiction or documentary – will be paid to the winning Mexican movie’s director at the 29th Guadalajara Intl. Film Festival (Ficg), which runs March 21-30.
A double redemption movie written by Zunino and Sofia Espinosa, who also co-stars, “Open Cage” charts the building relationship between a jobless 65-year-old (esteemed thesp Juan Carlos Colombo) and an initially callous girl drifter (Espinosa). It pulled off an unusual double-fist triumph last year, sharing top plaudits at both Guadalajara and Ventana Sur’s work in progress strands.
