In this regard, Diego Pino<\/strong>, Executive Director of CCDoc<\/strong>, stated: \u00abThis year, more than ever, the Docs in Progress selection confirms that the continent offers a beautiful diversity of perspectives, languages, and approaches, especially in the exercise of memory, establishing the region’s documentary work as an active exercise in continuous reflection on what we were, what we are and what we will be. We are very pleased to work once again with FIDOCS as we continue to strengthen the creation of a Latin American community focused on a critical view of reality and active work on memory as a foundation for the future.\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Then, from Costa Rica and Guatemala<\/strong>, Hombres perdidos<\/em><\/strong>, directed by Andr\u00e9s Madrigal Alvarado and produced by Sof\u00eda Meza Herrera. The director notes, \u00abAfter discovering that, like me, my late grandfather was homosexual, my father and I revisit his life in a journey of family discovery.\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

In Vida normal<\/em><\/strong>, through the repetition of his treatment, Rogelio seeks kinder narratives about what he and others expect or imagine about being ill. This project from Argentina<\/strong> is directed by Rogelio Navarro and produced by Ingrid Pokropek, Juan Segundo \u00c1lamos, Iv\u00e1n Moscovich, and Rogelio Navarro.<\/p>\n

DOCS IN PROGRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The section was created through a partnership<\/strong> between Conecta<\/strong> and FIDOCS<\/strong>. It aims to strengthen the development and work of Chilean and Latin American filmmakers and producers, providing them with support and creating a space for growth for professionals in the audiovisual sector.<\/p>\n

This year, the six selected projects in the Work in Progress category will go through two stages: the first stage, held online during FIDOCS<\/strong> from November 14 to 21, will consist of personalized tutoring by professionals in editing, directing, post-production, sales, distribution, and exhibition. The second stage will take place during Conecta<\/strong> from December 10 to 13, where each filmmaker will receive feedback from national and international audiovisual industry representatives and participate in one-on-one personalized meetings.<\/p>\n

Once both stages are completed, the projects will be eligible for the FIDOCS First Cut Award<\/strong>, which provides a USD 1,500 unrestricted grant to support the completion of the film, and the Cineteca Nacional Award<\/strong>, which includes one minute of royalty-free archival footage, DCP mastering and conforming, and a DCP projection test in a cinema.<\/p>\n

Additional prizes include the SONAMOS<\/strong> Award, which offers three days of 5.1 sound mixing at SONAMOS studio, valued at USD 3,000, to be completed in 2025; the Cannes Doc Award<\/strong>, which grants one project two accreditations to the March\u00e9 du Film, allowing participation in Cannes Doc 2025 and other market activities; and the Mediocielo Films Award<\/strong>, which provides editing guidance from the production company and training hub.<\/p>\n
