Chilean star power is in full force at the 41st Guadalajara Film Festival (FICG) where Pablo Larrain, Sebastián Lelio and Maite Alberdi lead a large contingent from Chile as the festival’s guest country of honor.

“They are our golden generation of filmmakers – many of whom reached international recognition, including Oscar nominations and wins, while still in their forties—that helped set us on this path,” CinemaChile director and co-founder Alexandra Galvis told Variety. “The selection of these three is no coincidence: beyond their achievements, they share a common ground in navigating the industry at a global level, collaborating with platforms like Netflix and yet maintaining a distinct, uncompromised artistic voice.”
