Alberto Fuguet and Dany Salvatierra in conversation with Giancarlo Cappello

B movies and literature

Arequipa 2025, 

B movies have always been a type of refuge of all kinds of anti-hero. These stories have been low in budget, but high in imagination, and have often been transgressive and have featured those who live on the margins of society, those who are ignored. They have also been an inexhaustible source of inspiration in literature, as Alberto Fuguet (Chile) and Dany Salvatierra (Peru) will tell us, in conversation with Giancarlo Cappello.
