THE SUMMER OF FLYING FISH [El verano de los peces voladores]
Deep within the mist-filled forests of southern Chile, wealthy landowner Don Francisco will stop at nothing to eliminate the exploding carp population in his summer estate's private lake, recklessly "fishing" with dynamite and endangering his workers. The native Mapuche Indians don't take kindly to the mistreatment of their ancestral lands, and tensions begin to boil. Obsessed with his desire to dominate his domain, Francisco fails to realize that he is losing touch with his daughter Manena in this atmospheric mood piece from former documentarian Marcela Said. Official Selection, 2013 Cannes, Toronto, Vancouver Film Festival.
