An Argentine short film will participate in the Korean Fantastic Film Festival

The Argentine short film “La Lapapa” was selected to participate in the Korea International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan). It will be held between June 27 and July 7 in the city of Bucheon.

“La Lapilla”, by producer Far Away Cine, is the only Latin American short film selected for the competition. He will compete with 26 other films from around the world in the Bucheon Choice category. This brings together new trends and emerging talents in genre films around the world.

It is directed by Laura Sánchez Acosta (“Relict”) and produced by Federico Ricaldoni (“Rooms for tourists”). “La Lapel” tells the story of Malena, who during a hot summer nap in a fifth entrerriana terrorizes her younger brother, Santiago, with a legend that children who do not sleep are watched by pigeons and captured by a horrendous monster.

Bored of doing anything and despite Santiago's request to stay inside, Malena goes out to the nearby mountain. Bring his cell phone to search the internet signal. Do not imagine the consequences that can be unleashed by a simple walk in the sun.
