“Two portraits of people on the edge, Alexander Kvatashidze’s war-reporter themed docu-feature See You in Chechnya and Alejandro Fernandez Almendras’s questioning vengeance thriller To Kill a Man, were the big winners Tuesday at Locarno’s Open Doors and Carte Blanche, two of Locarno’s major industry competitions,” reported John Hopewell in Variety earlier this week. “Open Doors is a screenings/co-production lab for projects, Carte Blanche, which focused this year on Chile, a pix-in-post showcase.”
