Costa Rican Cinema?

Hello everyone, I am new to these message boards, but avid about film.

I was born in Costa Rica and half of my family hails from the country, but have never really seen or heard of any Costa Rican films or directors and I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations before I start gallivanting on my own.

Thanks in advance!

Of course,Costa Rica has a very small film industry but there has been an increase in the number of features being produced in the last few years and a couple of films have made it onto the international film circuit,first El Camino (2007),about two children who run away from Nicaragua to Costa Rica, and Of Love and other Demons (2009) ,a very good adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez` novel.
