, who made film festival history by being the first Venezuelan-born filmmaker to snag the Venice Golden Lion in 2015, is back on the Lido with “The Box” , the final part of a trilogy that began with his Cannes Critics’ Week short “Elephants Never Forget” and continued with his Venice-winning feature debut, “From Afar.”
In a patriarchal society like Latin America, fractured families and absent fathers are all too painfully common. Ironically, Vigas had a very close relationship with his late father, the renowned Venezuelan artist Oswaldo Vigas, and made a documentary about him, “The Orchid Seller,” which screened out of competition in Venice 2016.
As in “From Afar,” where prominent Chilean actor Alfredo Castro played against newcomer Luis Silva, Vigas cast a newbie with a professional actor in his latest film. “When you pair a natural actor with a pro, they keep each other off balance and that’s when the magic happens,” he observes.
