News has arrived from our friends at Blood Window! They have announced the seven titles selected to be a part of this year’s Blood Window Showcase at Cannes. Seven projects from a bevy of Latin American countries will be presented to buyers and festival programmers this July. I know that some of these are in post. I'm happy to see that Sandra Arriagada's Muertas Vivas is in the showcase. Another film that we will be talking about again in the near future is Huesera from Michelle Garza Cervera in Mexico. She just wrapped up principal photography last month and is heading into post. And tucked in at the very end there appears to be a new film from Nico Onetti, a sci-fi project called...

Ventana Sur’s Blood Window, one of Latin America’s most important platforms for up-and-coming horror, science fiction and fantasy filmmaking, is headed to Cannes’ Marché du Film with seven works in progress and a new market screening premiere for buyers and film festival programmers.
Although Blood Window’s beginnings are steeped in blood and gore, the festival has diversified its offerings across recent editions, embracing films of fantasy and science fiction with increasingly political storylines and constantly bigger budgets. That’s not to say there isn’t plenty of slashing to be had in this year’s lineup with classic cabin in the woods fare like “The Shape of the Woods,” zombie slasher flick “Dead Alive” and ghost stories “Don’t Come Back Alive” and “Huesera,” but two of this year’s crop are full-on sci-fi titles: “The Last Boy on Earth” and “Alien Island,” the former set in...

Lucio A. Rojos, one of the executive producers of the horror fantasy anthology Apps has been hinting for a while now that they would be announcing the world premiere of the film soon. Today is the day. After a market-like screening at Sitges last year and some final tinkering with the finished product the team behind the film is happy to announce that Apps will premiere at the highly respected Bifan in South Korea next month. Apps is a collection of five films from five filmmakers Sandra Arriagada, José Miguel Zúñiga, Camilo León, Samot Márquez and Lucio A. Rojas. In their stories every day popular apps from dating apps to travel and hospitality apps are the trigger. The real horror follows, and from the...

Screen Anarchy has your first look at Muertas Vivas (Living Dead), a new splatter horror comedy and the feature film debut of Chilean director Sandra Arriagada - pictured here with Tutú Vidaurre on her right and Belén Mora on her left. Filming wrapped up the previous week and I've been bugging Arriagada and one of her producers, Lucio A Rojas (Trauma), for some goodies to share with you today so we can get this on your radars. So we've just received a small batch of behind the scenes shots from the production and a press release as well. Arriagada and Rojas speak about the project. They also asked one of their actresses, Clara Kovacic...

Having just pitched at the Sanfic-Morbido Lab, Chilean slasher flick project “Matria” will head to South Korea’s Bucheon (Bifan) in June on behalf of Ventana Sur’s Blood Window, where the project pitched to great success in late 2020. In the midst of its pandemic online market run, “Matria” has added two new key castings in award-winning Chilean actor Benjamin Vicuña and Argentina’s Gabriel Schultz. They join the already top-line casting of “Locked Up” standout Itziar Castro and “A Fantastic Woman’s” Daniela Vega.
“How much harm can a man do to a woman? Enough for his head to have a price on it,” starts the promotional material for the upcoming project from Chile’s Sandra Arriagada. An over-the-top, blood-soaked black comedy, “Matria” sees seven awful men held to task for their previous transgressions against women by being unwittingly entered in a battle-royal, seven-men-enter-one-man leaves-style event sponsored by the...

Pushed back from last August and now held online as Covid-19 still rages in Chile, Sanfic Industria, the high-energy industry part of Santiago de Chile’s Sanfic festival, runs March 18-26. Given its context, it bids to play an even more crucial role in Latin America’s industry re-set after experiencing a more punishing pandemic impact than any other part of the world.
Sanfic Industria: More Growth, Despite Covid-19
Over the last 12 months, film and TV events, whether virtual or on-site, have almost all slimmed. Sanfic Industria, in contrast, is expanding, adding a much-awaited Series Lab showcase. Santiago Lab has already evolved massively over the last two-to-three years, blossoming from a tight-knit niche launchpad for promising titles to a can’t-miss event for many of the region’s most ambitious projects.
Further growth, and a move into drama series, looked inevitable. Over the last five years, high-end drama series production...

Chile’s Santiago International Film Festival (Sanfic), and Mexico’s top genre festival Morbido have announced the six titles set to participate at the Sanfic-Morbido Lab, held March 23, a Covid-era online rejigging of their existing co-venture.
“Although the pandemic forced us to postpone the August 2020 in-person version of Factoría Morbido-Sanfic, this did not prevent us from continuing our alliance and redesigning the space for an online version in March,” Sanfic Industria head Gabriela Sandoval explained to Variety. “We firmly believe it is necessary to continue developing and promoting Latin American genre cinema, despite the setback.”
Projects will pitch to a jury headed by Spanish horror legend Paco Plaza, creator of the massively successful “Rec” franchise which was a box office and critical hit in Spain and in territories abroad, spawning several international remakes including 2008’s U.S. version “Quarantine.”

Once seen as niche or nerdy, science fiction, fantasy and horror fare have moved into a dominant position on the film and TV landscape. Platforms are starving for it, theaters can fill up when it’s playing and producers are always on the lookout for opportunities to back the right project.
“Genre filmmaking presents a climate of opportunity for producers,” says AGC Studios chairman and CEO Stuart Ford. “Genre movies can often be produced on more modest budgets and are not as reliant on big name acting talent,” he explained, citing Neill Blomkamp’s “Demonic,” which AGC Studios screened just before the EFM.
“We weren’t able to make ‘Inferno’ last year, which was much a bigger budgeted, ambitious in scale sci-fi thriller we’d been prepping with Neill. So instead, we pivoted to shooting ‘Demonic,’ a sub-$10 million supernatural thriller, set and shot in British Columbia.”

Taking place on site in five cities – Madrid, São Paulo, Mexico City, Bogotá and Santiago de Chile – and online for the rest of the world, Ventana Sur, Latin America’s biggest film market, climaxed Friday with a virtual awards ceremony for its major industry competitions hosted out of Buenos Aires.
Awards went to some buzzed up titles from major production houses, as well as others – “Me & The Beasts,” for example, which came from seemingly nowhere to take multiple industry sponsors by storm.
Following, the prize winners:
Primer Corte
Venezuelan Nico Manzano’s “Me & The Beasts” – an original, fantasy-tinged drama turning on a singer seeking inspiration as Venezuela’s crisis roils – won three of the six prizes on offer at Ventana Sur’s 2020 Primer Corte, its art film pix-in-post competition. Post-production prizes took in a Dcp copy (Nmf/Colorfront), color correction and Vxf supervision (Sofia Films) and a final mix check (La Mayor.

Ventana Sur’s Blood Window Works in Progress Screenings and Spotlight on International Projects sections have become standout events on the global genre films calendar. The event has matured in stature, but in content as well, featuring high-end content and expanding from a straight horror event to other genre areas such as science fiction and fantasy.
Internationally, the event has embarked on partnerships with the likes of Sitges Film Festival in Spain, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea and the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (Bifff) in Belgium.
In recent years Blood Window has been less about the blood and more about the window into what haunts humanity. Science fiction and fantasy allegories have come into vogue, and while there is still plenty to be afraid of in Blood Window’s selection, there is more to think about.
As is the case every year, San Sebastian Film Festival...

Today Blood Window announced the 15 projects selected for the official Blood Window Lab, part of the genre program at the Ventana Sur co production market in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With a lot of filmmakers chomping at the bit to make movies post-pandemic there were a record 214 projects submitted from Latin American countries this year. Of the fifteen project chosen six would be directed by women and another seven would be produced by women as well. Not bad, not bad at all. I have a number of friends with projects in the market this year. Sandra Arriagada (Apps) has a project called Matria which would be produced by Trauma's Lucio Rojas. Jimena Monteoliva would produce El cuerpo de Carla yace junto...

“Matria,” with “A Fantastic Woman” star Daniela Vega, and Raul Camarena’s “The Bus,” with Meraquí Pradis from “Dani Who?,” have both made the cut for December’s Blood Window Lab, the feature project competition at Latin America’s biggest genre movie market.
Part of Ventana Sur, a film-tv market-meet run by the Cannes Festival and Market and Argentina’s Incaa film-tv agency, the Blood Window Lab will be held online for the first time, running Nov. 30-Dec. 4. As state film funding plunges in Brazil and Argentina, 2020’s edition received a record 214 project submissions.
2020’s lineup shows Latin American fantasy genre at least holding up, despite the economic battering taken by many Latin American countries before and during Covid-19.

Santiago, Chile — Dissatisfied with the way that females are represented in horror films, a group of filmmakers from Latin America and Spain have teamed up to create a new narrative of five short stories – each playing on a common theme, and each with a unique cast of actors and directors attached – in “28,” an in-development project presented as part of this week’s Santiago Lab at the Santiago Intl. Film Festival (Sanfic).
Created with participation from five countries – Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Spain – with an eye on picking up a sixth contributor from the U.S., the stories in “28” will play off the themes of the 28-day female cycle, paralleled with the four-week lunar cycle.
The segments will range from classic slasher-thriller to sci-fi musical to psychological drama, and each story feature a female lead meant to break the mold of the “damsel in distress” trope so common in the horror genre.
