Opening, closing and lifetime awards

McDonagh’s film follows three CIA agents – played by Malkovich, Rockwell and Buscemi – who can no longer tell the mission from the paranoia, the festival says. Turtletaub’s closer recreates Borges’s journey through the Scottish Highlands on the 40th anniversary of the writer’s death, with Gnecco in the title role.

The Astor Piazzolla Lifetime Achievement Awards go to Oreiro, Agresti and composer Kauderer. A Héctor Babenco tribute marks the 80th anniversary of his birth and the tenth of his death, with Pixote, At Play in the Fields of the Lord, Foolish Heart (Corazón iluminado) and My Hindu Friend. Homages also cover Andrzej Wajda and Eduardo Mignogna, plus a Japanese Golden Age strand and a 50th-anniversary screening of Juan José Jusid’s No toquen a la nena.
