My Take
Santiago Mitre is exactly the kind of filmmaker I want to champion. An Argentine writer-director who also acts, he builds the dense, morally tangled human dramas that South American cinema does so well. Serving on a Cannes Critics' Week jury and winning Best Director in Havana for Paulina marks him as a serious voice, not a festival tourist. Being named an Outstanding Citizen of Buenos Aires in 2023 tells me his roots run deep. I trust artists who stay grounded in their own soil rather than chasing Hollywood gloss, and Mitre strikes me as one of them.
