The second Ventana Sur market in Buenos Aires has announced the 10 Latin American films to be presented in Primer Corte, the screenings of films still in post production.

Teresa Toledo, director of Casa America in Madrid, will present the selections. One will win an award sponsored by Argentine film magazine Haciendo Cine. The 10 were selected from more than 100 submissions.

Michael Rowe’s Ano bisiesto, which was presented in Primer Corte last year, went on to win the Camera d’Or in Cannes.

The participants include Cannes Cinefondation Residence alumni Hernan Belon from Argentina, Mexican director Yulene Olaizola who previously directed Intimacies of Shakespeare and Victor Hugo, 2009 Sundance Lab alum Alejandro Landes from Colombia, and another Argentine film-maker, Marco Berger, who previously directed Plan B.
