The programming of the next edition of the Sundance Film Festival was announced and the Chilean presence is coming in with double representation. The Cow who sang a song about the Future<\/em><\/strong>, Francisca Alegria\u2019s debut feature, will have its world premiere at the World Cinema Drama Competition, while Beast<\/em><\/strong>, Hugo Covarrubias\u2019s award-winning animated short is at Sundance Shorts.<\/p>\n

Sundance is the most important American event in independent cinema and the first big film event of the year, which will be held between 20 and 30 January in a face-to-face and virtual manner.<\/p>\n

Francisca Alegr\u00eda returns to Sundance<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy for the selection at the Sundance Film Festival, it is a film that we have made with a lot of effort and a lot of affection from the south of Chile\u201d<\/em> – Francisca Alegr\u00eda.<\/h3>\n

In 2017, Francisca Alegr\u00eda made her mark at Sundance with her short film, And the whole sky fit in the dead Cow\u2019s Eye<\/em><\/strong> that won the Short Film Jury Award. Announcing the award, filmmaker Shirley Kurata, a member of the jury, said “There is so much to say about this film, that we decide to take the easy route, and say nothing. For audiences, please go watch the short, and for the filmmaker, we ask you to please make a feature film, we look forward to seeing it”.<\/p>\n

Alegr\u00eda clearly heard the message and her first feature, a co-production between Chile (Wood Producciones), Germany (Match Factory Production), Cinema De Facto (France) and Persona (United States), arrives to calm our anxieties. Starring Leonera Varela, M\u00eda Maestro, Alfredo Castro and Marcel Tagle, the film is an opportunity for global audiences to continue to discover her bold authorial voice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The film is framed within the same aesthetic and narrative universe as the short film: it portrays the life of Cecilia (Leonor Varela) and her children, who travel to her elderly father\u2019s dairy farm after he almost died of a heart attack. Back in her childhood home, the past comes to life and Cecilia must face the pain of her mother\u2019s suicide and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her family\u2019s land. It was written along with playwright Manuela Infante and actress Fernanda Urrejola.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very proud to have worked with Francisca Alegr\u00eda, a talented director and a great woman. We hope this will be the beginning of a long life for ‘La Vaca<\/em>‘ ” says Alejandra Garc\u00eda, producer of the film (Wood Producciones).<\/p>\n

Hugo Covarrubias enchants Sundance Shorts with Beast<\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The choice of animation is natural and organic, it\u2019s a personal approach. There are certain decisions that when searching in the human mind, generates images that are difficult to make with live-action” Hugo Covarrubias<\/h3>\n

Directed by Hugo Covarruvias and produced by Tevo D\u00edaz, Beast<\/em> is one of the most outstanding Chilean short films of the year, and without a doubt the most awarded one internationally.<\/p>\n

It premiered in Annecy, where it received the Prix Festivals Connexion, and it has won other awards in Tallinn – (Best International Short Film and Best Short Film Young Jury), Guadalajara (Rigo Mora Award Best Animated Short film) and Bucheon (Grand Prize Best Shortfilm), among 15 other awards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inspired by real events, the short film penetrates the life of a secret police officer of the military dictatorship in Chile. The relationship with her dog, her body, her fears and frustrations, reveal a macabre fracture in her mind and of a country. The premiere at Sundance crowns this journey that has resonated with international audiences, where the search around the source of evil makes it a universal story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
