KUALA LUMPUR: The 20th Latin American Film Festival (LAFF) returns this year with a selection of the best Latin American movies exclusively at GSC 1Utama in Selangor and GSC Gurney Plaza in Penang from Nov 17 to 27.
Fans can watch the movies for free during the festival courtesy of the Group of Latin American and Caribbean Embassies (GRULAC).
This edition of LAFF will feature seven movies from various genres, of which four are animated features that will surely entertain kids.
The animated movies are the action-drama Tito And The Birds from Brazil, as well as fantasy movies Nahuel & The Magic Book (Chile), Lila's Book (Colombia) and Ainbo: Spirit Of The Amazon (Peru).
In Tito And The Birds, a boy sets out with his friends to look for his father's missing research on bird songs, which might just save their world from an epidemic where fear makes people sick.
Nahuel & The Magic Book revolves around a curious boy with a deep fear of the sea who finds a mysterious book that could be the solution to his fears.
Lila's Book follows the adventures of a character in a children's storybook who miraculously comes out of her paper world but becomes trapped in a place that she doesn't belong.
In Ainbo: Spirit Of The Amazon, a plucky 13-year-old girl seeks help from a couple of animal spirits to help her tribe after an entrepreneur and his company threaten their land.
Aside from the animated works, adults can check out live action films like the dark comedy-drama The Weasels' Tale from Argentina, the Cuban drama-crime thriller The Return and Mexican drama Los Lobos.
