This year, Retaguardia Films will participate as a double entry in the Mannheim-Heidelberg Film Festival, one of the most important festivals in Germany. While “XX”, by Cristián Jiménez, will be among the 7 short films in official competition, the project “Optical Illusions”, by the same director, will participate in Mannheim Meetings, the co-production forum associated with the festival.

Previously in 2003, “Los Debutantes” by Andrés Waissbluth was part of the official competition of the festival, and in 2004, “199 Tips To Be Happy”, whose shooting recently concluded, was part of Mannheim Meetings.
