There are only a few publications that explicitly deal with the transnational quality of film festivals in relation to South America. Julianne Burton, for instance, stresses the impact of the political, left-wing Italian film festival in Pesaro on the circulation of South American cinema in Europe and North America in her 1975 festival report. Clara Kriger (2004) and Núria Triana-Toribo (2007) examine Argentina’s Mar del Plata Film Festival.
