CLChile's short film 'Una fortaleza' has been selected for the 83rd Venice Film Festival's Orizzonti competition, one of the festival's main sections for international short films. Directed by Alba Gaviraghi, this is her first feature as a director. The film follows Antu, a young woman who must decide whether to stay at her school or reunite with her mother after being confined there for several months. Gaviraghi explains that she wanted to explore the deeply political nature of emotions through this narrative. The film features new actors and was supported by Chile's Ministry of Culture, Arts, and Heritage. It will compete alongside other short films, including Saoirse Ronan's debut as a director. The Venice Film Festival will take place from September 2 to 12.
