AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Costa Rican director Andrés Madrigal's debut feature documentary, “Lost Men,” will premiere at the Costa Rica Film Festival. The film originated from an impulse to document his grief following the death of his grandfather and evolved into a chronicle of his personal family history.

Madrigal felt an urge to begin filming immediately after his grandfather passed away, capturing what he described as moments of immediate grief. This initial archival effort ultimately became the foundation for “Lost Men.”

The intimate documentary explores little-known queer history within Costa Rica through the lens of Madrigal’s family. The world premiere is scheduled to take place at the Costa Rica Film Festival, offering audiences a personal and historical look into this previously untold story.
