Latino Films selected at the SXSW festival 2012 announced

The increasingly influential film section of the SXSW festival announced its lineup last night, offering its by-now characteristic mix of low-budget independent features, intrusions from the putatively hip end of Hollywood, and music-inflected documentaries.
Here Latin America Film has selected some of the Latino movies that will be scenting at Autin, Texas from the 9th until the 18th March.

Los Chidos (Germany / Mexico / USA)

Amor Cronico (Cuba / USA)
Director: Jorge Perugorria

Pompeya (Argentina)
Director: Tamae Garateguy | Screenwriters: Tamae Garateguy, Diego A. Fleischer

¡Vivan las Antipodas! (Germany / The Netherlands / Argentina / Chile))
