'Memory,' 'Serpent,' 'Truman,' 'Magallanes'
‘Memory,’ ‘Serpent,’ ‘Truman,’ ‘Magallanes’ Vie For Platino Glory Emilio Mayorga COURTESY: LLEIDA LATIN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 14, 2016 | 11:44AM PT Latin Platino Awards reveals shorter longlist in Santo Domingo SANTO DOMINGO– Matías Bize’s “The Memory of Water,” Salvador del Solar’s “Magallanes,” Ciro Guerra’s “Embrace of the Serpent” and Cesc Gay’s “Truman” figure among 20 Platino Award best pic nomination candidates announced Thursday at a press-conference in Santo Domingo. Pablo Trapero’s “The Clan,” Pablo Larrain’s “The Club,” Federico Veiroj’s “The Apostate” and Paula Ortiz’s “The Bride” also made the best pic cut for the third Platino kudofest, awards aimed at highlighting talent and movies from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Starring Elena Anaya and Benjamín Vicuña as a couple battling to overcome the loss of their small son, “Memory” competed at 2015’s Venice Days and took the Silver Colon at Spain’s Huelva Fest. Sold by Germany’s Global Screen, it most recently received plaudits from critics and audiences at this week’s Latin American Fest in Lleida, Spain. Handled by Filmax Intl., melancholy friendship dramedy “Truman” has swept awards at multiple events this season. Produced by Spain’s Impossible Films, the seventh feature of Cesc Gay is co-produced out of Argentina by K & S and Telefonica Studios/Telefe, two shingles behind Damian Szifron’s “Wild Tales” — which swept the 2nd Platino Awards — and “The Clan” — also in the running this year. Produced by Peru’s Pendulo Films and Tondero Films, Argentina’s Cepa Audiovisual and Colombia’s Cinerama and Proyectil, “Magallanes,” which is the directorial debut of Peruvian thesp Salvador del Solar (“Pantaleon y las Visitadores”), is one of the highest- profile titles from a national cinema, Peru, which, like Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela and this year Chile, has seen local movies fire up appreciable market share at their domestic box office.

It has made a difference in the world.” –The Nation “An extraordinary cry against the thieves of memory. The most necessary documentary of the last 80 years [in Spain]” – Fotogramas “A wrenching and prescient documentary.

Screendollars Newsletter 2020-11-23.Pdf
Monday, November 23, 2020 | No. 143 On March 5, 2021, Warner Bros. will release their animated comedy Tom & Jerry, featuring the cartoon characters introduced in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and made famous through hundreds of theatrical shorts that MGM distributed to theatres in the 40’s and 50’s to play before their features. During those years, the on-screen feuding between Tom the Cat and Jerry the Mouse matched the popularity of Warner Bros’ famous Looney Toons characters created by Tex Avery, Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng. Since that time, animated characters (Click to Play) featured in cartoon shorts have grown up to become headliners in their own Hollywood blockbusters. As one more example, this week MGM announced plans to produce a modern reimagining of the Pink Panther using live-action/CGI animation, directed by James Fowler, whose prior successes include Sonic the Hedgehog. “Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our star and built the first (Click to Play) phase of our partnership in the movies.” - Joseph Barbera Weekend Box Office Results… 11/20 – 11/22 With Comments by Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore Per Theatre Rank Title Week Theatres Wknd $ Total $ Average $ 1 Freaky (Universal) 2 2,057 1,220,000 593 5,592,295 2 The War With Grandpa (101 Studios) 7 1,688 733,067 434 16,182,660 3 Let Him Go (Focus Features) 3 1,907 710,000 372 7,929,300 4 Come Play (Focus Features) 4 1,364 550,000 403 8,054,665 5 The Santa Clause - 2020 Re-release (Disney) 1 1,581 461,000 292 461,000 6 Honest Thief (Open

VOL. 30 MAY 2021 the Bulletin of UNWTO’S Affiliate Members from the Tourism Sector
VOL. 30 MAY 2021 The bulletin of UNWTO’s Affiliate Members from the tourism sector 1 Dear Affiliate Members, I am pleased to share with you our AM News bulletin Vol.30, which features special content dedicated to FITUR 2021 – the International Tourism Fair of Madrid – to be held from the 19th to the 23rd of May. At the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), we are actively promoting and supporting the progressive resumption of face-to-face events, in due compliance with the protocols and measures established by the national authorities. From this perspective, we see FITUR 2021 as an important milestone in the roadmap for the progressive and sustainable restart of the sector. I truly believe that, within the new and hopeful context marked by the advance in the vaccination against COVID-19, FITUR 2021 will be the first great international mobility event in Europe this year. It is my pleasure to extend a cordial invite to participate in FITUR 2021 to our Affiliate Members. This 2021 edition will focus on the recovery of tourism, and it will offer a wide variety of spaces and activities aimed at showing the future trends in the sector. The UNWTO Affiliate Members Department (AMD) and the host of the IFEMA/FITUR Fair, an UNWTO Affiliate Member, have jointly prepared a special package for all Affiliate Members participating at the Fair, which includes a series of advantages and benefits, as well as activities specially dedicated to our Membership. You can read all about it in this issue of the bulletin. We will continue the work to complete and reinforce this package of benefits designed for our affiliates and to keep you updated on the activities at the Fair, with the conviction that this will facilitate a significant presence of our Affiliate Members at FITUR 2021.

VOL. 29 APRIL 2021 the Bulletin of UNWTO’S Affiliate Members from the Tourism Sector
VOL. 29 APRIL 2021 The bulletin of UNWTO’s Affiliate Members from the tourism sector 1 Dear Affiliate Members, I am pleased to share with you the April 2021 edition of our AM News bulletin. As you will read in this issue, the development of the Legal Reform of the Affiliate Membership is moving forward at a good pace. In March, we held our third meeting with the members of the Working Group for the Reform of the Legal Framework to debate and exchange proposals on the draft text for the new article 6 concerning the creation and functioning of the future Committee on Matters related to Affiliate Membership. The creation of this Committee aims at improving the integration of UNWTO Affiliate Members with the UNWTO as a whole and, more specifically, with the Member States. I am confident that this new Committee will provide our Membership with a much-needed new governing body, which is currently lacking, to ensure an institutional channel for an effective and fruitful interaction with the Member States. Another aspect we would like to highlight in this issue is the work developed by two of our UNWTO Working Groups: the UNWTO Working Group on Accessible Tourism and the UNWTO Working Group on Science Tourism. Both are making good progress towards a fruitful exchange of information, expertise and best practices. As a result, in the coming months we will see two interesting outcomes. One is the organisation of the very 1st International Conference on Astrotourism, which will be held in September in Portugal. The other one is the release of a joint report on on Good Practices on Accessible Tourism in Rural and Nature Areas, which will be finalized soon.
