El apostolado (lit. The apostolate) is a 2020 Guatemalan drama film written, directed and produced by Juan Manuel Méndez in his directorial debut.^[1] The film was shortlisted by the Guatemalan Association of Audiovisual and Cinematography along with La Llorona and Luz to represent Guatemala in the category of Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Award, but was not chosen.^[2] But it was chosen to represent Guatemala in the category of Best Ibero-American Film at the 36th Goya Awards, however, it was not nominated.^[3]

Synopsis[edit]

Idealization[edit]

Mendel at the beginning had great ambitions for the project, trying to carry it out in France, however, it was a very difficult challenge due to financing issues, so Méndez thought it would be more viable to make a smaller film, quoting his words: "I needed to record something that was achievable and above all affordable. I had the idea of this character who liked to help people and among everything that made me more logical I had the image of this priest".^[6]

Release[edit]

El apostolado had planned a commercial release in theaters in Guatemala in 2020, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[7] Later, it was announced that the film will have a digital release on Vimeo on Demand between September 18, 2020, and 25 of the same month.^[8]
