Film future bright for Venezuela
Venezuela's film industry may be one of the least known in South America, but the country's output will take center stage this year at the Festival de Cannes in the second edition of World Cinemas. Even in Venezuela, the local film industry traditionally has attracted a sliver of the moviegoing public. But the reality is that the country is undergoing a transition fueled by the anti-American philosophy of the Venezuelan government headed by Hugo Chavez. "I think we are now in 2006 in the best moment ever for filmmakers and producers of national (Venezuelan) cinema," said director Philippe Toledano, a Frenchman based in Caracas for more than 40 years.
