The Man from the Future<\/em><\/strong> will premiere internationally on Wednesday, July 3rd. It was produced by Giancarlo Nasi of Quijote Films and stars Jos\u00e9 Soza and Antonia Giesen, narrating the story of Michelsen, a solitary, wandering truck driver who sets out on his last trip aboard his truck, to Villa O\u2019Higgins in the Ays\u00e9n Region, in the extreme south of Chile. Along the route, he will begin to let go of everything that supposedly made up his life: his money, his job, his health. However, what seems like a tragedy will become a journey of enlightenment, because in reaching the end of the road, he will manage to redeem himself for his past mistakes, and for the first time, live in the present as he has always longed to do, along with his daughter Elena.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s incredible that the film, despite being a first feature, could make it into the official competition. I\u2019m very excited, and it also seems very interesting to me that this line of films that are perhaps associated with a specific territory can give way to a very different kind of cinema,\u201d said R\u00edos. He adds that \u201cThe Man from the Future was born from a concern over approaching two concepts that, for me as a director, are of great importance. The first of them has to do with a reflection on time, and the second, with the utilization of cinema as a tool to transmit human emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the film\u2019s producer Giancarlo Nasi stressed the importance of being selected to a competition like Karlovy Vary. \u201cWe\u2019re tremendously content and honored to be in the official competition of a festival like Karlovy Vary, and even more so being the first film in the history of Chile to get into this competition. I think it\u2019s a big milestone. It\u2019s important to understand that Karlovy Vary is an A-Class festival, with a tremendous tradition. This international competition has existed since 1948 and I believe it is without a doubt important that we go to other markets, other festivals, it\u2019s tremendously important to understand that Chile is going international,\u201d asserted Nasi.<\/p>\n Likewise, Antonia Giesen, who plays Elena in the fil, said, \u201cThe fusion of age ranges makes it an audiovisual project with a lot of variety. Felipe is a young director, making this for the first time; then there\u2019s Jos\u00e9 Soza, with whom we\u2019re great co-protagonists, and with a big age difference [between us], so that conjugation is interesting on a creative level. It required a lot of work at the table which became an encounter of experiences (…). I think the cinematography and the art are gorgeous, the place, but overall it\u2019s a project that I have so much love for, so we\u2019ve very content about this selection.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other hand, at 84 minutes in duration, The Cordillera of Dreams<\/em><\/strong> also participated in the Czech event, in the non-competitive category \u201cHorizons\u201d. It is the latest in Guzm\u00e1n\u2019s trilogy, which began with Nostalgia for the Light <\/em><\/strong>(2010) followed by The Pearl Button<\/em><\/strong> (2015).<\/p>\n Produced by Atacama Productions, between Chile and Switzerland, it is described in Guzm\u00e1n\u2019s words in the synopsis: \u201cIn my country, the Cordillera [mountain range] is everywhere, but for Chilean citizens, it\u2019s an unknown territory. After going to the North of Chile with Nostalgia for the Light, and to the South for The Pearl Button, I now feel ready to film this immense spinal column, to explore its beauty and reveal its mysteries.\u201d<\/p>\n Two Chilean films will arrive at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, one of the oldest, most important competitions in Central and Eastern Europe. The event, which will take place from June 28th to July 6th, selected two national productions: The Man from the Future, a first feature by director Fellipe R\u00edos and the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1990,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"loftloader_page_shortcode":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/cinemachile.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/lineup-k-vary-NL.png\")
