Climate Change Hell, Military Coups, Big Industry Pollution, Fractured Families: Guadalajara Gives a Bracing Latin American Take on World Collapse

The Zeitgeist weighs heavily on this year's Guadalajara Construye, the top Mexican fest's pics-in-post showcase, one of the its industry centerpieces, now in its 19th edition. 'Here Be Dragons,' by the Sundance selected Iria Gómez Concheiro ('The Cinema Hold Up') takes place after a military coup, confronts 'a culture of fear,' she says. 'Genesis' unspools during the Earth's final days, 'The Swimmers' during the hottest summer in the history of Buenos Aires, suffering mass exodus, 'Girls Ground' is set in a coastal town poisoned by its heavy industry. More from Variety Guadalajara Highlights Hits, Notable Debuts Among Recent Spanish, Portuguese-Language Movies, Plus a Film About a 'Hell of Naked Depravity' Leading Mexican Post-Production Houses Chemistry and Semillero Join Forces in Guadalajara (EXCLUSIVE) 'Pulp Fiction's' Maria de Madeiros Receives Tribute at Guadalajara's Portugal Country of Honor Celebrations Other films portray characters turning to ('8 Ways to Die') and preparing to abandon ('That Shadow Fading') bedrock affective relationships. One keynote ('The Swimmers,' 'The Monster') is a sense of disillusionment. Such themes will be given, however, a regional twist, their makers promise. ''Genesis' forges a uniquely Latin American approach to science fiction, reclaiming futuristic storytelling from colonial perspectives and transforming our collective dreams of what's possible. It sheds light on what it truly means to be human in a world in the face of collapse,' says producer Juan Sarquis. 'Here Be Dragons' ¡s described as a 'dystopian thriller told from a Latin American perspective.' Six of the seven Works in Progress are directed by female filmmakers in a Latin America where they are seizing opportunities to make movies as if there is no tomorrow. Titles in this year's Guadalajara Works in Progress competition, running June 9-11. 'Genesis,' ('Genésis,' Magaly Ugarte de Pablo, Mexico) During Earth's final days, Alma must conceive with an imposed partner to earn passage to humanity's last refuge. A pragmatic pact unexpectedly transforms into passionate attraction but rejection shatters their bond and their hope. Confronted with impossible decisions, their reality begins to fracture. 'Genesis' sheds light on what it truly means to be human in a world in the face of collapse,' says Ugarte de Pablo. The latest from Mexico City-based Filmaciones de la Ciudad, founded by Juan Sarquis, also an executive producer and development manager at El Estudio. 'Girls Ground,' ('Tierras Niñas,' Zara Monardes, Chile) Luz spends her last summer of childhood in Chile's Ventanas, a heavy industry coastal town, accompanied by her half sister and pet rabbit. Written by Monardes and producer Catalina Aguilar, a Ventana Sur entry which won three industry prizes last December. The film 'highlights the complex journey of personal identity and the challenges women face as they navigate a world that shapes and often limits their development,' says Monardes. Set up at Chile's Cine UDD educational facility, whose to date 16 graduation features to date include 'La Madre del Cordero' and 'Sariri.' 'Here Be Dragons,' ('Aquí Hay Dragones,' Iria Gómez Concheiro, Mexico, Chile) The biggest title playing this year's Guadalajara Construye, marking the third feature from Gómez Concheiro, behind Sundance title 'The Cinema Hold Up' and Guanajuato winner 'Before Oblivion.' After a military coup, Candelaria, 18, searches for her missing brother and the truth about the so-called 'barbarians' and her own father. Produced by Gómez Concheiro's label Ciudad Cinema and Machete Producciones ('Leap Year,' 'La Jaula de Pro,' 'Huesera'). 'We are very pleased with the results so far and truly believe we have something special and unique to offer Mexican and Latin American cinema,' says Machete's Edher Campos. 'The Monster,' ('O Monstro,' Helena Guerra, Brazil) As she realises an ex-girlfriend has stolen her idea for a film, an obsessive, frustrated film editor spirals out of control, becoming what she always feared: a pathetic monster. 'At the heart of the film are the gripping performances by Estrela Straus and Victoria Rossetti,' says Guerra. 'Together, they embody the same character at two pivotal moments: a woman in her 20s, bold and brimming with desire, and decades later in her 40s, disillusioned and haunted by memories she cannot escape.' A Havana Fest Coral Prize finalist, and first feature from São Paulo's Irmãos Guerra Filmes. 'The Swimmers,' ('Los Nadadores,' Sol Iglesias SK, Argentina) A first feature from Buenos Aires-based guerrilla indie film collective Los Nadadores Cine, made by and starring four of its members including writer-director Iglesias SK and producer Valentina D'Emilio, plus directors Joaquín Fretes, and Tobías Reizes. Four friends suffer the hottest summer in history in Buenos Aires. Amid power outages, and a massive exodus abroad, they break into the mansions of the absent ultra rich. 'This is a film by a new generation of Argentine filmmakers who dare to combine diverse narrative elements to create a fantastic and nihilistic story about the future of the world,' says D'Emilio. 'That Shadow Fading,' ('Aquella Sombra Desvanecía,' Samuel Urbina, Peru) For years, Sol, a funeral keyboardist, has sought refuge in the monotony of her work. Now her son, Junior, is finishing university, will soon leave. In a sweltering, desert-like city, mother and son will try to connect before separation. 'Our film carries a restrained narrative and a sensitive gaze; it delves into the intimacy of the domestic, the wound of detachment, and the possibility of becoming whole through loss,' say Urbina and producer Walter Manrique. '8 Ways to Die,' ('8 Maneras de Morir, Mar Novo, Mexico) Out of work, out of sorts after she breaks up, Lex, thirty-something, seeks solace in her only emotional mainstay, her grandmother. Their relationship swings from tenderness to dark humor. The latest from Mexico's Novo, a member of the writers room for Amazon Original series 'Mentiras.' Her debut feature, 'Sisters,' bows this year.

Boxing, Uprisings, LGBTQ+ and Coming-of-Age Stories Power Guadalajara Co-Production Meetings Lineup

Celebrating its 21st edition, the Co-Production Meetings hosted by the Guadalajara Film Festival's (FICG) industry program, aims to foster collaboration among producers from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Unfolding over the three days of industry activities June 9 -11, the selected projects vie for cash awards, one of which covers nearly the entire production of a film—from development through post-production—all in a single award, according to Industry head, Ximena Urrutia. More from Variety Climate Change Hell, Military Coups, Big Industry Pollution, Fractured Families: Guadalajara Gives a Bracing Latin American Take on World Collapse Guadalajara Highlights Hits, Notable Debuts Among Recent Spanish, Portuguese-Language Movies, Plus a Film About a 'Hell of Naked Depravity' Leading Mexican Post-Production Houses Chemistry and Semillero Join Forces in Guadalajara (EXCLUSIVE) 'It's a significant boost for the selected projects,' Urrutia tells Variety, adding: 'We have approximately 20 projects participating in the Co-Production Meetings. We work closely with each of them, identifying their specific needs and matching them with the right industry professionals to help move their projects forward.' 'These are often early-stage projects—some come to us as mere concepts or story outlines, without even a completed script. That's all we require for submission: a clear narrative idea. From there, the development process begins,' she notes. The selection includes three projects set in the boxing world, while a few are LGBTQ+ themed with one, 'Diamonds are Forever,' featuring a gay boxer. Coming-of-age, music and identity stories abound. Acclaimed Chilean actress-helmer ('Chile '76') Manuela Martelli co-directs and acts in the film-within-a-film drama, 'Cupid's Arrow.' Running parallel to the Co-Production Meetings is Episodio Cero, a program focused on series rather than films. This follows a similar format, supporting the development and realization of serialized content. Titles in the Co-Production Meetings: 'This Bolero is for Ita' ('Un bolero para Ita,' Writer: Camila Caballero, Colombia) Produced by Sebastian Caballero and Vanessa Gómez of Red Collision Studios ('The Judge's Shadow'), Gustavo, an elderly radio host, is stranded at the Venezuelan-Colombian border while trying to repair his mixing console. As the sudden closure deepens the rift with his wife back home, he makes a final attempt to reach her—broadcasting the first bolero he ever dedicated to her. 'There are almost no films that tell the story of the border crisis through love, especially with two elderly protagonists. This film captures the heartache of being torn apart overnight from the person with whom you've shared a life.' Project has tapped Colombia's Film Development Fund and will participate in the Bogota Audiovisual Market (BAM). No director attached yet. 'Rebellion of Memory' ('Rebelión de Memoria,' Joël Jent, Switzerland, Peru) Documentary. Between 1980 and 2001, Peru's Andean highlands were ravaged by conflict between the Shining Path guerrilla and state forces. A former child soldier and his parents – once on opposing sides – now struggle to confront their past and seek reconciliation in the shadow of memory. 'This is the first film to include decision makers of both sides of Peru's civil war,' says Jent ('Eating the Silence'), who attends FICG. Project has tapped several Swiss incentives and participated in various labs including the IDFA Project Space, DOK Leipzig Co-Production Market and EsoDoc where it won the Pitching Award in 2023. 'Rebellion' ('Rebeldia,' Maria de Medeiros, Portugal, Brazil, Luxembourg) Based on the true story of Annie Silva Pais, daughter of Portugal's secret police chief, who abandoned her life in 1965 to join the Cuban Revolution. A devoted revolutionary and Fidel Castro's translator, she returned only after the Carnation Revolution – to fight for her father's release. Produced by leading Portuguese shingle, Fado Filmes, and to be directed by actress Maria de Medeiros ('Pulp Fiction'). In development, the project already has 50% of its budget in place and seeks to cover at least 20% from a Latin American partner. 'First We Take Anillaco' ('Primero tomamos Anillaco,' Paula Martel, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay) Coming-of-age road movie and standout at March's Malaga Festival Fund & Co-Production event. It follows a gang of teenagers who set out across northern Argentina on a wild mission: to assassinate the country's most corrupt and reviled former president. Producers Colectivo Rutemberg, Filmes Sem Sapato, Color Haus and Circular Media are seeking to connect with distributors, sales agents and platforms. To date, 25% of the budget is in place. Producer Francisco Novick has participated with his films in Fulgor Lab, Cartagena Production Meeting, Tallinn Black Nights, DOK Liepzig and the BR Lab, among others. 'The Young and the Broken' ('Los Hijos también lloran,' Lorena Maza, Mexico) Dramedy produced by Traziende Films and Tejuino Ent., turns on an actor who reconstructs his 1980s childhood in order to understand the trauma of his father's sudden death. Between theater, film and television, he retraces his life through the very forms that taught him how to feel, tell stories and endure. It is lead produced by Monica Vargas who founded Traziende 25 years ago, and whose multiple credits include Netflix's first Mexican series, 'Club of Crows' ('Club de Cuervos'). Writer-lead Actor Andrés Zuno ('Señora Acero') adapts his autobiographical novel and play. 'Blurring the lines between what is factual and what is imagined, this one-of-a-kind film involves experimental forms of writing and storytelling, pushing the boundaries of traditional narrative structures,' says Vargas. 'Cupid's Arrow' ('La fleche de Cupido,' Ernesto Meléndez & Manuela Martelli, Chile) Produced by Olimpo Films which aims at creating elevated queer cinema. Antonio, a little-known foreign actor, arrives in Santiago to star in his partner Millaray's new film—an erotic gay drama set in 1973. Fiction blurs with reality when he falls for his co-star, and brother-in-law, Lautaro. 'This is a project that takes the soup opera genre to create a meta-proposition in which a film director films a movie that unwittingly reflects her reality. The film within the film will actually be directed by the actress who plays the director (Manuela Martelli), creating an interesting (or unprecedented) performative co-directed film,' says writer, co-director Meléndez. Participated in the 2023 ValpoLab and has tapped Chile's film fund to finalize the script. 'God's Favorite Girl' ('La favorita de Dios,' Diego Ulloa Alvear, Spain, Ecuador) From Barcelona-based Funicular Films, founded in 2021 by Aina Clotet, Jan Andreu, Marc Clotet, and Marta Baldó. Its first production, 'This Is Not Sweden,' premiered in 2023 and received the Prix Europa for Best European TV Fiction, the Ondas Award for Best Comedy Series and recognition at Canneseries. At Guadalajara, the company is represented by Baldó and director Diego Ulloa, who co-wrote the screenplay with Marina Parés. Pic follows 16-year-old Pachi who claims to receive messages from the Virgin Mary after her parents announce their divorce—an act that escalates into a national controversy. The project won First Prize at ESCAC's Opera Prima Lab. 'This is a project with soul, humor and a deep sense of humanity wrapped in a hyperlocal story. A teenager eager to please, a perfectionist mother, a deeply hypocritical society and a lie that ends up shaking an entire country,' says Baldó. 'The Insignificant' ('La Chaucha,' Alfonso Gazitúa Gaete, Chile) Coming-of-age drama turns on Marina, a shy 15-year-old girl struggling with panic attacks, who dreams of competing in female freestyle. With the support of a musician and an unconventional band, she learns to face her fears and find her own voice. Produced by Chile's Ciudad Cultural Prods, led by Alexis Sánchez, a company dedicated to telling authentic Latin American stories with creativity and technical excellence, creating original content for film, television, and digital platforms with global reach. 'Inspired by my teenage kids, I explore youth mental health, self-worth and the struggle to express oneself—what my parents called 'la chaucha,' a symbol of unrealized potential,' says Gazitúa Gaete. 'The Beam' ('La Centella,' Nicolás Gutiérrez Wenhammar, Mexico) Documentary described as a captivating journey through the mysterious phenomena that traverse the Mexican skies, told through the eyes of those who have witnessed them. Produced by Cauce Prods. and El Relicario Cine, led by Jorge Diez Maza and Gutierrez, project has nearly 25% of its budget in place and seeks co-producers as well as development and production funding. Cauce, a transmedia conception, production and distribution organization founded in 2015, has produced and distributed two features ('Mientras la prisión exista,' and 'Sísifos') and two transmedia projects (' 'La Noche sin sombra'). ''La Centella' is a poetic documentary that blends science fiction, oral storytelling, and Mexican folklore to explore luminous phenomena in the sky. Its hybrid form and dreamlike aesthetic celebrate mystery as a source of imagination,' says Diez. 'Juliette & Camille,' (Paloma Zapata, Spain) Documentary follows two ethnically diverse musicians as they come together to create the soundtrack for a documentary. But their collaboration transforms into a journey of self-discovery, as both delve into their pasts in search of their place in the present. Produced by La Fabrica Naranja and Indigena Films with Sara Horta leading the production. Project has nearly 70% of its budget in place and seeks a sales agent and distributor. Horta previously founded the company Pixel Films which produced short films 'La niña azul,' 'Ainhou' and 'Restart.' She produced the drama 'Dhogs,' which premiered at Bafici and Sitges. 'Undefeated' ('Invicta,' Inti Herrera & Yoe Pérez, Cuba) Documentary produced by Neissy Delgado and Reymel Delgado of 14films about female boxer Namibia who was never able to represent Cuba in the ring. Against all odds in the male dominated sport, she survives undefeated in the county where only men can box. Project has 21% of its budget in place and seeks co-producers in both production and post-production stages. Delgado is executive producing two sports features and a historical fiction film. Director Herrera's producing credits include zombie slacker comedy 'Juan of the Dead' by Juan Brugués, which won a Goya, Spain's Oscar equivalent, and Carlos Lechuga's 'Melaza.' 'Evolet' (Ian Martín, Mexico) Fantasy horror drama in development, set in the mystical realm of Eldoria, where Princess Evolet seeks to claim the throne from her half-brother, guided by a powerful curse that grants her deepest desires—at a dire cost. A winner of the Feratum 2024 Residency, 'Evolet' explores themes of power, ambition, and identity. The project is led by Islandia, an independent production company founded by Alex Briseño (Samuel Kishi's 'Somos Maripepa'), committed to emotionally resonant cinema. With current projects including 'Tú y Yo' and 'Tornado Rojo,' Islandia is seeking co-producers for Martín's debut feature. 'It's a drama that explores the power we grant ourselves with titles like leaders or kings, and how those powers can vanish,' says Briseño. 'The Foreign Man' ('El Extranjero,' Sebastián Rodríguez, Argentina, Spain) Lechiguana Films, a boutique production company founded in Buenos Aires in 2021, is represented at FICG by founding partner and EP Nicolás Torcanowsky. Known for music videos for artists like Dillom and Lali, and films with sister company Vista Sur ('El Faro,''Dalia and the Red Book'). Written and directed by Rodríguez, 'The Foreign Man' is a political thriller set during Argentina's 1978 World Cup. The story follows a Spanish journalist who gets entangled with a young activist during the dictatorship in Argentina.

'Beast' ('El Bestia,' Isidoro Sarfati, Mexico) Produced by Carolina Amador and Isidoro Sarfati of Bamba Films, 'Beast' follows boxer Gama whose delusions of grandeur, a ruthless trainer and struggles with his inner demons transform him into 'El Bestia.' Sports drama has some 25% of its projected budget and is seeking more partners in production and distribution. Producers are looking to tap the Jalisco cash rebate. Amador's credits include 'Santitos' and 'Sexo, pudor y lagrimas.' Sarfati, a London Film School graduate, produced 'Through the Eyes' ('A los ojos') by Michel and Victoria Franco. 'Love in the Time of Bacaneria' ('El amor en los tiempos de Bacaneria,' Patricia Pepen, Dominican Republic) In the hard-scrabble streets of Santo Domingo, 17-year-old Zuleika drifts through broken romances and a tense bond with her mother, until hitting rock bottom forces her to search for the love she's longed for – within herself. Produced by Mentes Fritas, founded in 2007, with credits that included SXSW Audience awardee 'La Bachata de Bionico.' Project's development trajectory includes participation in Malaga's Warmi Lab, Cartagena's Opera Prima lab, Cannes' Producers Network, etc. Says writer-producer Cristian Mojica: 'It offers an authentic, vibrant Dominican story that resonates deeply with the contemporary pulse of Latin American youth. Set in a Caribbean universe with a feminist DNA and a fresh narrative voice, it blends dembow, the streets and love into a raw and entertaining tale.' 'Diamonds are Forever' ('Diamante, o Bailarina,' Pedro Jorge Cabron, Brazil) Emílio, a young Black gay boxer, trains under his estranged father and enters the ring in drag—fighting for pride, respect, and acceptance. Founded in 2013, Paideia Filmes creates socially engaged content for diverse audiences.

Backed by São Paulo's Spcine incentives, it has participated in Ventana Sur, Rio2C and other industry events. 'This is a film about a son searching for his father. What makes it unique is that this journey unfolds between a queer drag performer and a homophobic father, brought together by boxing. Two worlds that clash and learn to coexist,' says Heverton Lima, who attends FICG. 'Casilda,' (Urzula Barba Hopfner, Mexico) CasiIda, a former orchestra pianist and recovering cocaine addict, returns home to Guadalajara after her brother's suicide, confronting family fractures and beginning a journey of self-discovery. Directed and produced by Urzula Barba Hopfner whose 'Corina' won best feature at FICG Made in Jalisco last year and the SXSW Audience Award. Argentine political scientist and producer Emiliano Mansilla has worked with the likes of Guillermo Arriaga, Amat Escalante, Nick Cassavetes and Maria Ripoll. Project has 20% of its budget covered and seeks more co-producing partners. 'Witches of the Island' ('Brujas de la Isla,' Crisfel Jimenez Contreras, Dominican Republic) In the Dominican Republic, witches are more than folklore—they're feared figures said to steal blood and spread evil. This documentary uncovers the truth behind the myth, exploring the island's enduring superstitions, stories, and fears. Co-produced by Flor Blanca, the first indie film company based in Bonao, focusing on socially relevant stories, emerging talent and taboo topics, and Alba Films, based in La Romana, which aims to co-produce bold, auteur-driven films with global appeal. Says Yatnna Montilla, a producer alongside Laura Bennitez: The myth of the witches still exists in the Dominican Republic, especially in the rural areas. Deeply rooted in religious and popular culture, it is very often seen as truth. The line between the reality and the myth becomes blurred, and this confusion continues to harm women, especially those who are isolated and silenced. It could be any of us.'
