María Mercedes Coroy, Sabrina De La Hoz, Julio Diaz, Margarita Kénefic, Juan Pablo Olyslager, Ayla-Elea Hurtado, María Telónhad a dream debut with “Ixcanul” in 2015: The richly textured folk drama premiered in Competition at Berlin and won him the Alfred Bauer Prize, before going on to healthy international arthouse exposure.

It’s not a question any parent would want to answer. Grandpa, in this case, is former army general Enrique Monteverde , a fictional figure seemingly based on genocidal Guatemalan dictator Efraín Ríos Montt, whose military campaign of terror in the 1980s saw the massacre of thousands of indigenous Mayan people.

Into this cracked setup comes new housemaid Alma , a young indigenous woman who seems meekly dutiful on the surface, but appears to bring a strange, subversive energy with her: Before long, rooms are unaccountably flooding, plagues of frogs appear out of nowhere, and the disconnected sound of a woman’s wailing repeatedly disrupts Monteverde’s rest.

Acclaimed immigration film 'El Norte' returns, more relevant than everA restored version of the movie 'El Norte,' about 2 Guatemalan siblings' harrowing crossing into the US, will be released on video and one day in theaters for Hispanic Heritage Month. I recommend Loqueesha instead. It’s on amazon prime. Great flick Movie celebrating a crime. Great job! Next it'll be a movie about Dahmer just being hungry.

'Ghostbuster' sequel to focus on a family of original filmThe upcoming 'Ghostbuster' sequel will focus on the descendants of the original ghost-catchers who rushed around New York City in proton packs and jumpsuits.
