Pacifica Grey, run by Marcelo Quesada and Karina Avellán, have pounced on the distribution rights to Gabriel Mascaro’s ‘The Blue Trail.’
Leading Costa Rica-based indie distributor-producer Pacifica Grey, run by Marcelo Quesada and Karina Avellán, have pounced on the distribution rights to Gabriel Mascaro’s “The Blue Trail,” a big winner at Berlin and Guadalajara ( FICG). Described by Variety as “the greatest South American houseboat movie since ‘Fitzcarraldo,’” Mascaro’s dystopian fable is set against the backdrop of his native Brazil and follows Tereza (Denise Weinberg), a 77-year-old woman navigating a society that views anyone over 75 as an obstacle to its economic progress. The participants were highly engaged, and the tutors were incredibly generous with their insights,” said Quesada, noting that as this was the third edition, the goal was to “connect different generations, helping the community of the program grow and strengthen.”
