One of Argentina’s new filmmaking talents to watch, Sundance Institute Latin Fellowship recipient Ana Bovino has just received private funding for her documentary project “The Nights” (“Las noches”) from heavyweight doc player Jane Ray, founder of Cat Flap Media and consultant artistic director of UK funding body The Whickers.

Shopped at various co-production markets including Chile’s Conecta 2025 where it won the Cannes Docs Award and a ticket for this year’s Cannes Docs Spotlight, Bovino’s film debut is now competing for the €15,000 ($17,200) Last Push Award at the ECAM Forum co-production market in Madrid, running over June 9-11.
