A review of JLTL's short "Obreras Saliendo de una Fábrica," by Sebastián Lorenzo for Chilean film journal La Fuga (http://lafuga.cl):

>>> "Estrategias para entrar y salir de la fábrica"

"Obreras saliendo de la fábrica" debe ser la mejor película realizada en chile desde hace mucho tiempo. Al menos, aquella más imaginativamente sencilla, y quizá también, la más cuidadosamente pensada. Con un ritmo pausado y de cadencias armoniosas, nos aleja de la observación externalista y nos sumerge en un devenir comparsa. A su vez, el flujo de la cámara por los interiores de la fábrica, siguiendo las labores de cada una de las cuatro protagonistas del film, parece poco a poco invitarnos a caminar por los circuitos de la aplastante maquinaria textil, rastro perdido, figura ya convaleciente, de la pasión por la producción y la industria de ese acabado estatismo magnificente."

Just me Jose Luis Torres at the festival too, where he was in a panel about the Berlinale's World Cinema Fund, along with Sonja Heinen, of the Berinale Co-Production Market. For everyone's who's interested in World Cinema, the WCF is a great resource! Google: World Cinema Fund (sorry, too lazy to link today).
