As the only Latin American film to participate in the European Film Market’s Co-Production Market, Chilean filmmaker Fernando Guzzoni’s “Land of Savages” (“La Tierra de los Salvajes”) is a breed apart.

“Fernando is a director who, since his debut [“Dog Flesh,” which snagged San Sebastian’s New Directors Prize in 2012], has managed to win over audiences at the most prestigious film festivals; he’s an interesting talent for Fábula and with this new project, we plan to take the next step in his career with him,” she added.

Back in 1994, Harris County prosecutor Elsa Alcala won a death sentence against Houston’s Gerald Eldridge, accused of murdering his wife and daughter. After the trial, her boss, storied district attorney Johnny Holmes, gave her a little gift. “Congratulations, killer,” he said as he handed over a novelty pen made to look like a small plastic syringe.

As we all know, Kevin Max Smith is one of Christendom s true eclectics, who down the years has drawn us in with everything from electronica to spoken word poetry, though often returning to his British pop and rock influences.
