A FANTASTIC WOMAN
The L.A. Times Tre'vell Anderson interviewed Oscar contender Daniela Vega recently. Vega stars in the TFF #44 film A Fantastic Woman and has been making buzz around the film since its premiere last February at the Berlin International Film Festival. The film won a number of prizes at Berlin including Best Screenplay.
The film's story focuses on the life of a transgender woman in Chile and is directed and was written by Sebastian Lelilo. The film currently sits at the #5 spot in this week's Film Award Clearinghouse Oscar predictions for Best Foreign Film.
