About the Film
About the Presenter
"Jayro Bustamante credits his multilingual skills to his early Montessori education in Guatemala, where he lived in the highlands populated by the Kaqchikel (Mayan) tribe until age 14. From age 17 to 19, he was an in-house commercial director at Ogilvy & Mather, where he saved to fund his European film education. Film-school studies in Paris and Rome have informed Bustamante’s work, which includes his Cannes-winning short Cuando sea grande. His feature debut Ixcanul (Volcano) was awarded the 2015 Berlinale Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize. Up next is the Guatemala City–set paternity drama Temblores, based on another true story." —Variety
