Mexican producer-director Iria Gómez Concheiro is unveiling at Guadalajara “Here Be Dragons,” a co-production between her own label Ciudad Cinema – alongside exec producer Rodrigo Ríos Legaspi – and Colombia’s Trilce Cinema, with Alejandro Rey and Claudia Sánchez.
Set in a vaguely anachronistic 2040, “Here Be Dragons” is a sci-fi drama-adventure movie which follows 18-year old Candelaria as she tries to survive an uncertain, devastated country where sinister military forces rule.
Fearing an imminent barbaric invasion, Candelaria flees from her father and a chaotic, brutal regime, while undertaking an initiatory trip to unveil the truth about love and this menace. The title refers to the Latin inscription “hic sunt dracones” (dragons are here) used on old navigational maps to signal unexplored or dangerous areas.
Project “Here Be Dragons” wil be prsented at the Guadalajara Festival Co-Production Meetings from Sunday.
Previously it has been put through the Morelia Lab, where it won a special mention,...

Negus (Gabino Rodríguez) makes his way through the halls of an abandoned building that serves as a sanctuary for juvenile delinquents. He rubs elbows with the beat boxers, the drinkers, the soccer players, the drug dealers until finally he comes to a tunnel where he and his cronies are putting up new a piece of art — graffiti to the untrained eye. The cops arrive and rid the place of a wasted generation.

Iria Gómez Concheiro’s Sundance entry, this year the only Mexican film in the line-up, sounds promising. The Cinema Holdup tracks a group of Mexican youth unhappy with their social situation that decide to rob a, you guessed it, movie theatre. The
A trailer has emerged for the film and it’s a little different than I expected. For the most part, it’s just a group of teen gangsters doing their thing, accompanied by a soundtrack of the same teens rapping about their unhappiness with ghetto life. The heist in question is only alluded to in passing and then with the final scene in the trailer. From all accounts of those who have seen the film, the trailer parallels the film itself which only deals with the heist in the last act.

I suspect many American filmgoers could not name a Mexican film director with a gun pointed to their head (Robert Rodriguez doesn't count, cabrón). The vast majority of the rest of us can probably name no more than three: Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu mama tambien, Children of Men) Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores perros, Babel) and Guillermo del Torro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth), and I've probably never seen a Mexican movie other than by one of these three directors until now. But Iria Gómez Concheiro is a name to watch, because she just may be able to get herself added to this list if she can live up to the potential shown in her feature directorial debut, The Cinema Hold-Up.
The film comes out swinging with an excellent opening, a long tacking shot of a teenager walking through an area of his Mexico City neighborhood. Walking past colorful graffiti, impromptu hip-hop circles,...

Among this year’s 13 selected (from 1073 - that's about one film for every 100 submitted) international narrative feature submissions, we find one title that is high up on our must see list in Paddy Considine's directing debut entitled Tyrannosaur. Last year we had Animal Kingdom ranked in the same spot. Here are the other 12 from pretty much all over the world. Abraxas /Japan (Director: Dai Sako; Screenwriters: Dai Sako and Naoki Kato) After botching a speech on career guidance at a local high school, a depressed Zen monk with a heavy metal past realizes that only music can revive his spirit. Cast: Suneohair, Rie Tomosaka, Manami Honjou, Ryouta Murai, Kaoru Kobayashi.
