Man Facing Southeast (Spanish: Hombre mirando al sudeste) is a 1986 Argentine Science fiction drama film written and directed by Eliseo Subiela, 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 latter.
