The official El Principio del Film catalogue at Ventana Sur 2023 selects Uky and Lola in Tierra del Fuego, featuring its synopsis, director and script background.
"Uky, a brave young Selk'nam man, and Lola, a talented shaman apprentice, face a critical mission: to save their people from cruel sheep ranchers threatening to enslave them and usurp their ancestral lands."
The official El Principio del Film catalogue of the Ventana Sur 2023 market includes Uky and Lola in Tierra del Fuego, directed by Fabián Andrade, in its selection under the Fantasy category. The publication features the feature's synopsis, the director's background — Chilean and British nationalities, trained at U Arcis and certified in Unreal Engine and W3C HTML5 — and the script's antecedents.
Script background
From the catalogue itself: "With the support of CORFO and Chile's Ministry of Culture, the script has drawn attention. Advisors Patricio Salinas and Gonzalo Asalazar have contributed. Featured at Cannes Marché du Film, its international profile has risen, highlighting its importance."
The selection in El Principio del Film consolidates the project's international presence at Latin America's main audiovisual industry market.
