Cine Las Americas presents SANTOS
Tuesday, April 28, 7:15pm, Alamo Ritz
Tickets available here
The Cine Las Americas Film Festival is giving us a chance to relive one of the highlights of Fantastic Fest 2008. This surreal super-powered superhero jam from Chile had it's world premiere at the Alamo South Lamar. If you missed it then, see it tonight at the Ritz!
Salvador Santos—bald, obese, and 33—does not look the superhero type. But after a strange inter-dimensional traveler warns him that his best friend, multimillionaire Arturo Antares, is actually a tyrant from another dimension who has been hiding in Arturo’s body, he has no other choice but to accept the challenge. His years of experience as a comic book artist will come in handy, especially when it comes time to save the love of his life, Laura Luna, from the evil grip of Nova.
Twenty-six-year-old director Nicolas López started his film career early, as he was only fifteen when he directed his first short film, “Pajero,” which was screened at local festivals in Chile. López has also been a columnist for the Chilean newspaper El Mecurio and worked closely with MTV Latin America, as a screenwriter for the MTV Music Awards and as an actor in his outrageous sitcom, Piloto MTV.
