Coming to NYC’s 92YTribeca as part of the Cinema Tropical Festival this Saturday, February 9: THE LIFEGUARD (EL SALVAVIDAS)
Maite Alberdi’s portrait of a by-the-book Chilean lifeguard made its world premiere at IDFA in 2011. It went on to screen at Full Frame, New Horizons, DOXA, and Edinburgh, among others, and was the winner of Cinema Tropical’s Best Documentary Film award.
I included the doc in my IDFA coverage here.
