The pair will give a keynote speech, present Fantastic Fest’s Latin American market’s first La De Dios award and talk about their Chilewood partnership.
Roth and Lopez have made The Green Inferno (pictured), Aftershock, Knock Knock and latest production The Stranger written and directed by Guillermo Amoedo.
Fantastic Fest will host the world premiere of The Stranger on September 19 and runs from September 18-20 in Austin, Texas.
“I’ve had an amazing experience, both creatively and financially in Chile partnering with Nicolas Lopez and Miguel Asensio,” said Roth.
“Their whole approach to filmmaking is completely different from anywhere in the world, and I’ve found it to be far more creative as well as cost-effective.
“As the business changes and contracts and costs are cut filmmakers need to find ways to make their films without sacrificing quality or scope. We’re making theatrical genre films for a global audience, building Santiago...

Aftershock was released to Blu-ray and DVD this week, and we were given the opportunity to submit questions to director Nicolás López. In our latest Q&A feature, Nicolás López talks about working with Eli Roth, practical effects, and his thoughts on The Green Inferno:
Now that Aftershock has seen a theatrical and VOD release in the Us, are you happy with how the movie has been received by horror fans?
Nicolás López: It’s very exciting to know that people from all around the world are watching the movie on VOD, DVD or…pirated, and being able to have a direct dialogue with the fans (and haters) on twitter and instagram (@nicolaslopez) is awesome. I love every reaction. Love or hate. I just want the people to watch the movie.
Instead of a typical disaster, Aftershock is infused with horror elements. Was this something you always planned...

What happens to a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub in Chile when a massive earthquake hits? Hint: Nothing good!
Well, except that it gave me the opportunity to sit down with Eli Roth to talk about his new movie Aftershock, in which he stars, co-wrote, and produced. I would say that’s a pretty darn good outcome! Check it out below.
In the middle of a night of wild partying, a hapless American tourist (Roth) and his friends are suddenly plunged into a living hell when a powerful earthquake rips through the coastal town of Valparaíso, Chile.
What do you think it is about travel that sets a good tone for a film?
Eli Roth: Well, travel – Everyone has fantasies of traveling. We all want to escape our lives and go somewhere fun. A lot of times we want to go as far away from...

The Hostel director came below the line to answer readers' questions about horror, comedy, Christoph Waltz and his favourite films
Eli Roth is responsible for some memorably nasty moments in recent horror cinema – the leg-shaving scene in his directorial debut Cabin Fever, the gruesome eyeball bit in Hostel, genital mutilation in Hostel : Part II (and if you've not seen those films and you're squeamish, we recommend you think hard before clicking those links).
He gave a memorable performance as Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, and is visiting the UK this week to promote The Last Exorcism 2, which he produced. Last week saw the release of the first still from his forthcoming cannibal horror The Green Inferno, which puts paid to any suggestion that he might be moving in a more family-friendly direction.
