High-profile Mexican arthouse duo, helmer Julián Hernández and producer Roberto Fiesco, are re-teaming on noir-ish urban melodrama Rencor tatuado.
Twice winners of Berlinale’s Teddy Award - for 2003’s A Thousand Clouds of Peace and 2009 ‘s Raging Sun, Raging Sky - Hernández and Fiesco’s new project is set in a violent ‘90s Mexico City, where Aída, a mysterious and beautiful woman, takes revenge on rapists.
Project is set up at Roberto Fiesco’s shingle Mil Nubes Cine, the company behind Arturo Ripstein’s Las razones del corazón, which competes at San Sebastián.
The $1.4 million Rencor is backed by Mexican government film fund Fidecine and Revolution 435 D&C.
The aim with Rencor is to reach wider audiences than Hernández’s other films, Fiesco said.
Rencor proved one standout at Wednesday’s pioneering Mexico-Basque Country Co-Production Meeting.
Highlights included the Agencia Shaproduced drama,I Dream in Another Language, about a foreigner researching a soon-to-die native Mexican language.
It is directed by Ernesto Contreras, helmer of Párpados azules, winner of a Sundance’s Special Jury Prize in 2008.
The $1.4 million I Dream is co-produced by Holland’s Revolver Media Prods. Pic backers include The Sundance Institute Mahindra Global.
