San Sebastian’s pix-in-post showcases, which have launched notable movies – Sebastian Lelio’s “Gloria” – and notable directors – Jayro Bustamante, introducing his debut “Ixcanul” – unspools in 2022, with the screenings of six WIP Latam titles taking place over Sept. 19 – 21. WIP Europe, with four titles, runs on Sept. 19 and 20.
In the mix is an awaited title from Chile, “Penal Cordillera,” directed by Felipe Carmona, produced by Dominga Sotomayor and Omar Zuñiga and sold by Luxbox, and “A Strange Path,” from Brazil’s Guto Parente, whose “The Cannibal Club,” acquired by Uncork’d Entertainment, made a stir by portraying a Brazil in which the rich literally eat the poor.
Also competing in WIP Latam is “A House in the Country,” from Davi Pretto whose “Rifle” – his second film, after the impressive “Castanha” – premiered at 67th Berlinale Forum and won the Grand Prize at Jeonju Intl. Film Festival. The highest profile title in WIP Europe is “Hesitation Wound,” from Turkey’s Selman Nacar, whose “Between Two Dawns,” an engrossing study of the moral compromise of Turkey’s ruling class, won WIP Europe in 2020 and went on to play san Sebastian’s prestigious New Directors sectionalist year. After 15 years away, Amando returns home with her French boyfriend to her family’s sprawling farm, set in an isolated village in the plains of Brazil.
