BELMONTE (2018)
Belmonte is a successful painter with a show going up in the National Gallery of Montevideo, but the recently divorced 43-year-old can't shake a looming sense of dread and depression. The only cure for his blues is his 10-year-old daughter Celeste, who is reluctant to spend time with him while her mother is on the verge of giving birth to her little brother. This slyly humorous observation of an artist in crisis is a beautifully-lensed portrait of a father-daughter relationship. Winner, Best Screenplay, 2018 Mar del Plata Film Festival; Official Selection, 2018 Toronto, San Sebastián and Santa Barbara film festivals.
