IFFR - first of february - filmfestival

Sunday 1 February 2026 - Rotterdam

IFFR Lantaren Venster - 11.45 - 13.30

Shot in real locations of Isla Maciel, a notorious neighbourhood outside Buenos Aires, Gatillero is a gritty, nerve-wracking crime thriller that unfolds in real time over the course of one fateful night. Presented as a single, unbroken shot, Cris Tapia Marchiori’s second feature tracks its desperate protagonist as he navigates dense residential blocks, claustrophobic interiors and deserted nighttime streets of a town forsaken by police and politicians alike.

Q&A and... meet and greet with Cris Tapia Marchiori (Argentina) screenwriter and director.
