Brazilian Gabriela Amaral Almeida’s “She, Crocodile,” Victoria Galardi “Hedgehogs” and “Rambler,” from Mexico’s Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez, feature among the 14 projects being brought to market at San Sebastian’s Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum.
Further titles are from admired established helmers – Argentina’s Santiago Loza, Bolivia’s Martin Boulocq – or fast emerging directors such as Cuba’s Rosa Maria Rodríguez, Argentina’s Natalia Meta, Paraguay’s Pablo Lamar and Mexico-based Natalia López Gallardo.
One of the strongest lineups in years, the showcase is powered by the allure of the biggest Latin American co-production event in Europe, the need to drive into co-production to counter rising costs and the more specific dire straits of Argentina’s film industry.
“She, Crocodile” marks the first feature from New York City and São Paulo-based South, the new production company launched by ‘Queen of the South’ lead Alice Braga and ‘3%’ star Bianca Comparato.

Focused on projects, producers and pics from smaller territories in Latin America, Locarno’s 2023 Open Doors showcase suggested a revolution is working through Latin America filmmaking. This year’s titles explore other facets of this next generation makeover. Four takes on the 2024 line-up:
The Genre Revolution
Many younger Latin American filmmakers are embracing genre. But they’re not turning out standard shlockfests. Some are genre blending. At Open Doors Projects Lab, “Fiebre Caribe, for instance” is “a multi-genre travelog: a Latin-American vampire drama splashed with culture-shock comedic relief moments, a lost romance investigation, a body horror tale, and for a moment, an archive-historical reimagining,” says director Diego Andrés Murillo. Others are genre bending. “The project’s voice – a queer, gen-z, female auteur – has reimagined a somewhat familiar horror narrative with tropical heat and cool,” producer Rob Maylor, at Mental Telepathy Pictures, says of “The Periphery,” another Hub title.

On the heels of a world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and ahead of its bow in New Directors competition at San Sebastian, Bff, who heads international sales, has given Variety exclusive access to the trailer for Nicaraguan director Laura Baumeister’s debut feature, “Daughter of Rage.”
The film follows 11-year-old María and her mother, Lilibeth, who navigate poverty by collecting and repurposing refuse from the local landfill. A look at stifling generational debt passed on in communities that work hard to stay afloat, the film also tackles precocious familial bonds, abandonment, and the salvation of an imagination that allows the protagonist to cope with uncertainty.
As the trailer begins, a vast expanse of rubbish litters the frame. María’s alone, peering at other children at the top of a mountain of refuse. Detached from her peers, a large collection bag draped around her slight frame, she trudges through...

A vast landscape of refuse and the community that survives by salvaging its waste is central to the plot in the debut feature from Nicaraguan writer-director Laura Baumeister.
“Daughter of Rage,” which world premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday, will also make its European premiere as part of the New Directors competition at the San Sebastian Film Festival later this month.
The narrative follows 11-year-old María (Ara Alejandra Medal) and her mother, Lilibeth (Virginia Sevilla), who pick through a littered shore to ensure their survival.

With newfound pal Tadeo by her side, María grapples with an uncertain future, dreaming up fantastic scenarios to cope with the abandonment that looms over her head like an eerily dark sky before a storm.

Brussels-based company Best Friend Forever has acquired Laura Baumeister’s feature debut “Daughter of Rage” ahead of its world premiere at Toronto and San Sebastian film festivals.
Baumeister previously directed the shorts “Isabel im Winter” which played at Cannes Critics’ Week in 2014 and “Ombligo De Agua” which screened in Rotterdam and Clermont-Ferrand in 2018.
The Spanish-language film follows Maria, an 11-year-old girl who lives with her mother Lilibeth at the edge of a massive waste-disposal site in Nicaragua.

Paris-based sales agency and production company Luxbox has picked up the rights to “Pornomelancholia,” the latest documentary feature from award-winning director Manuel Abramovich.
“Pornomelancholia” follows Lalo, a sex influencer living in a mountainous region of Southern Mexico. On screen Lalo is charismatic, posting naked photos of himself and homemade porn videos which are seen by thousands of followers. When the camera is off though, Lalo drifts through life in a constant state of melancholy.
When a person’s sex life is commodified and sold off, what happens to desire? Using pornography as a starting point, the film examines the sex work industry, the consequences of broadcasting one’s private life publicly and how we create the characters we present to the world.
According to Abramovich the film is a reflection on “the limits of intimacy in an era where the day-to-day and subjectivity have become a show for the gaze of others.

Mexico City — Argentina’s Manuel Abramovich, a 2019 Berlinale Silver Bear winner for “Blue Boy,” has tapped French funding for its follow-up, “Pornomelancholia,” one of the highest-profile projects at Mexico’s Los Cabos Film Festival, which kicks off today with a gala screening of “The Irishman,”
Financing from the Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a building film-tv hub in South West France, has been secured by the film’s French co-producer, David Hurst at Dublin Films, which is based out of Bordeaux.
As equity finance from production partners has come to dominate over pre-sales in art film financing, and bring far more funding to the table, the number of producers involved on a project is often a good sign of not only its scale but excitement and perceived potential.
Lead produced by Gema Juárez Allen at Argentina’s Gema Films, “Pornomelanholia” is also co-produced by Rachel Daisy Ellis at Brazil’s Desvia, co-writer and...

Guadalajara, Mexico — The 15th Guadalajara Festival co-production Meeting for feature film projects are taking place this week in the Jalisco capital, running March 8-14.
The 2019 Meeting sees the biggest presence in terms of gender diversity in the competition’s history. Among directors and producers participating this year, more than 45% are women.
“That wasn’t an intentional decision in filling out the slate,” according to Encuentro representative Samantha Burciaga. However, it is a noteworthy feature of this year’s edition.”
Burciaga also described another trend among the selected projects: “It’s amazing how the filmmakers convey the pain of their people, and the concerns of their communities. The recurring themes of this selection show us nomadic families, the search for the truth in a journey and the breaking of the taboos and comfort zones.”
