SYNOPSIS: Ignacio and Alejandra are a young couple who are shooting a documentary about the people who disappeared from an indigenous village during the Guatemalan Civil War. From among the families who are still searching for their loved ones, they meet Delfina and her son Juan. Delfina still hopes to find her husband, but Juan is fed up with the search. He knows who was responsible for the disappearance of his father: someone who still lives in the same village. Dust (Polvo) is a contemporary portrait of a Guatemalan society, fragmented and divided, that cannot yet free itself from the brutal legacy of war.

Vancouver Latin Americal Film FestivalThe 11th annual Vancouver Latin American Film Festival runs from August 30th until September 8th, 2013. What started as a single-venue, three-day event has blossomed into a vibrant, multiple-venue, ten-day celebration of Latin American culture.

Highlights of VLAFF’s 11th festival include:  a Spotlight on Colombian Cinema; Canada Looks South, a program of films by Latin-Canadian filmmakers; Asian Perspectives from Latin America, a series of four feature-length films that address themes of Asian identity within a Latin American context; and, a series of talkbacks with guest directors following selected screenings.
