Invercine, Gema Films and Gaman Cine will present their latest productions at the WIP Iberoamericana industry centerpiece during Sanfic Industria.
The Chilean production house Invercine, which is led by Macarena and Matías Cardone, has established itself as a pioneer in the Latin American premium series scene with titles such as “News of a Kidnapping,” “Dignity,” “Ramona” and “Mary & Mike.”
Invercine is also backing the production of “Zambra,” a project directed by Paula Leonvendagar.
Leonvendagar described the work as “A profound reflection on literature, exploring the nature of its language, the creative processes through which it emerges and the technology it represents,” she told Variety.
Argentina’s Gaman Cine will feature “The Other Voice,” an intimate first-person portrait of Mercedes Sosa directed by Agustina Pérez Rial and lead produced by Nicolás Gil Lavedra.
The film is based on more than 100 letters written by Sosa to her friend Hugo Otero, including one where she writes, “When I sing, nobody notices my pain.”
Gema Juárez’s Allen’s Gema Films is producing the debut of Marchesini Weihmuller, a director who previously worked as a cinematographer on “One in a Thousand” and “Hot Springs.”
Cinestación, headed by Dominga Sotomayor and Omar Zúniga, is co-producing the WIP Iberoamericana title “The Grass Along the Path,” a drama set in a Chilean coastal town that recreates the social milieu of 1990.
Yull Núñez will present “The Cry of Serankwa,” his second feature, which is spoken in Iku, an Indigenous language from the highest mountains of Colombia.
García Spooner said, “The film explores friendship, the fear of growing older and above all the possibility of starting over without losing who you are.”
Romero Velásquez stated that “Las Visitantes” was born from a personal experience and focuses on women, particularly Afro-Caribbean women, who sustain, care and resist from outside, revealing the emotional loads, shame and emotional economies implied by loving someone in prison.
“A film built around apparently trivial conversation, but every word and silence talks about the passage of time, of bodies which fail and an obstinacy to go on living,” Marchesini Weihmuller tells Variety.
