Su Mirada is an impressive guide to emerging and new female directors in Central America and the Caribbean, many exploring motherhood and often backed by energetic regional producers
The theme of motherhood prevails in IFF Panama’s Su Mirada – Her Gaze – program but from less traditional approaches, says industry coordinator Cat Caballero, who has observed different outlooks in this year’s crop.
“You see varying perspectives that range from a child’s relationship with his mother, as well as on the woman who decides not to become a mother, and the one who chose to be a mother but is struggling through that whole process,” she notes.
