The Vancouver Latin American Film Festival presents the Vancouver premiere of DESIERTO, starring Gael García Bernal.

From Jonás Cuarón and Alfonso Cuarón, the acclaimed filmmakers of GRAVITY comes a unique, modern vision of terror. DESIERTO is a visceral, heart-pounding suspense-thriller packed with tension from start to finish. A group of Mexican emigrants attempts to cross the Mexican-US border. What begins as a hopeful journey becomes a harrowing and primal fight for survival when a deranged, rifle-toting vigilante and his loyal Belgian Malinois dog chase the group of unarmed men and women through the treacherous borderland.

“Cuarón has crafted a deliciously satisfying cinematic experience. Be ready for surprises. Be prepared to bite your nails. And beware of the dog.” Cameron Bailey, TIFF
