ƒmovieMexico’s Alfonso Herrera, best known for his role as the impetuous nephew looking to usurp his drug lord uncle in “Ozark” and as a former member of the wildly popular band Rbd and its TV series “Rebelde,” has joined the cast of “Tesis sobre una domesticación,” a movie adaptation of the multi-awarded novel of trans actress-scribe Camila Sosa Villada.
Now shooting in Argentina, “Tesis…” is a co-production between Argentina’s Laura Huberman, Ramiro Pavón and Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna’s Mexico City-based La Corriente del Golfo.
“Tesis sobre una domesticación” (“Thesis on a Domestication”) relates the story of a successful trans actress (played by Sosa Villalda) and her gay lawyer husband who adopt a child, defying Argentina’s conservative society to form their own family unit. Their attempt at domestic bliss is disrupted when they visit the actress’s home town where her family resides.

La Corriente del Golfo, the production outfit founded by Mexican stars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, has taken a co-production stake in Javier Van de Couter’s “Tesis sobre una domesticación,” based on a still to be published novel by Argentine trans actress-writer Camila Sosa Villada.
In development, “Tesis sobre una domesticación” (Thesis on a Domestication) is scheduled to start production in first quarter 2023, shot in Argentina’s Buenos Aires and Córdoba.
“A dystopia far removed from the gaze with which the trans world is usually observed,” according to a producers’ statement, the film tells the story of a successful transgender actress, her husband, a brand new gay lawyer, and their adopted son, who make up a family that has gone through many tests and adaptations to be accepted as such.
The domestication from which they derive their peace will be threatened by a trip to the town where the actress’s family lives.

Announced on Tuesday as one of 10 films playing the 2021 Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Competition, “El Perro Que No Calla” (“The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet”), from distinguished Argentine auteur Ana Katz, has been acquired by Paris-based Luxbox.
A doyen of French sales agents of Latin American films, handling high-profile, multi-prized art titles such as Benjamín Naishtat’s “Rojo” and Marcelo Martinessi’s “The Heiresses,” Luxbox will handle international sales rights to “The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet.”
A midlife coming of age comedy-drama come political parable, “The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet” turns on Sebastian, in his 30s, devoted to his loyal dog, who haltingly initiates adulthood, navigating love, loss and fatherhood.
In a narrative that captures the current Zeitgeist, Sebastian’s turbulent life is suddenly turned upside-down by catastrophe. He spends his life battling to adjust and transform in a vertiginous world that might be coming to an end.

Julia Solomonoff, whose “Nobody’s Watching” won best actor for Guillermo Pfening at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, is preparing her next feature, “Sed” (“Thirst”).
Starring Rafael Ferro (“Los Internacionales”), “Thirst” will be unveiled at the Bal-Lab Co-Production Forum, which runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at the 2020 Biarritz Latin American Festival. Laura Huberman (“Alanis” “Implosion”) will produce.
Also written by Solomonoff, “Thirst” turns on a truck driver (Ferro) in Ushuaia, in Argentina’s Tierra de Fuego. A few months short of retirement, he loses his job. Stealing his truck he heads up north, in search of his young son, who disappeared a year before on Argentina-Paraguay border.
A road movie, charting a physical and inner journey which Solomonoff calls “metaphysical,” “Thirst” takes the lorry driver from Patagonia to the Pampas and on to villages in a sub-tropical jungle.
Secrets, lies and guilt will “blend with recurring optical illusions in the reverberating flat horizon or the lush landscapes,...
