| Cinesud | ||
CineSud is an alternative distribution network for audiovisual works led by a group of film societies and film federations of several Latin American countries under the patronage of the International Federation of Film Societies (IFFS). There are thousands of truly independent films that do not find any exhibition opportunity and remain archived without the possibility of finding a spectator. CineSud aims to bring together the author and the exhibitor in order to promote the dissemination of high quality works that otherwise would not find ways to be exhibited outside of their local region. |
