Mar del Plata picks lineup, Jenkins suits up

Barry Jenkin's pic "Medicine for Melancholy" will be the sole U.S. film competing in the Mar del Plata Film Festival, reports Charles Newbery.   

Why only one North American flavor?
"We want to offer an ice-cream parlor for all tastes, not just vanilla, chocolate and strawberry," said Argentine vet helmer Jose A. Martinez Suarez, who is running the fest.

We like sprinkles.

Full lineup here. 

The Circuit will be in Mar del Plata, Argentina for the festival on November 6.  Check back for daily reports.
