Man Facing Southeast
Man Facing Southeast () is a 1986 Argentine drama-science fiction film written and directed by Eliseo Subiela and starring Lorenzo Quinteros and Hugo Soto. 
The film was selected as the Argentine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 60th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
The themes and story of the 2001 American film "K-PAX" share a strong resemblance with "Man Facing Southeast", and the former has been referenced or claimed as an uncredited remake of
"The Movie"). This foray into film was unsuccessful, though Soto became increasingly prominent as a stage actor and was soon invited to become a part of the prestigious San Martín Municipal Theatre's retinue.
A then little-known local documentarian, Eliseo Subiela, cast Soto in the lead role for his 1986 adaptation of an Adolfo Bioy Casares novella, "Morel's Invention". Portraying the enigmatic Rantés, Soto's role in "Man Facing Southeast" earned him a Silver Condor from the Argentine Film Critics Association
