Lisandro Alonso is one of cinema's most acclaimed new generation of filmmakers. Liverpool follows an enigmatically homesick shipworker, taking leave of his ship in a wintry Tierra del Fuego, compelled to visit the family he hasn't seen in years. When he finally arrives, he discovers that he's been forgotten by his ailing mother and is a complete stranger to his daughter, Analia. Liverpool was heralded at both Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals in 2008, proclaimed one of the best undistributed films by both INDIEWire and Film Comment, and 'Best Film of 2008' by CinemaScope.
