‘How To Deal With a Heartbreak’ Director Joanna Lombardi’s First Hybrid-Documentary ‘Stay Still’ Heads to Málaga (EXCLUSIVE)
The film centers the tense connection between a clandestine gravedigger and two young women, all searching for a place to call home.
Award-winning Peruvian multi-hyphenate Joanna Lombardi(“In House,” “How To Get Over a Breakup”), formerly in charge of heading Movistar’s original content slate for Latin America, dives into documentary with her latest feature “Stay Still” (“Quédate Quieto”), selected to screen in competition at the upcoming Málaga Festival, running Mar. Produced by Lombardi alongside Hernán Musaluppi co-headed Cimarrón Cine (“El Motoarrebatador”) and Enid “Pinky” Campos (“Dioses”), the film – selected for San Sebastian’s Co-Production Forum in 2021 – centers on a gravedigger and two young women vying for security and a place to settle down. Flanked by surrounding houses that line crowded hillside communities, his livelihood is increasingly threatened when young Cristina and Hilda weave through the foggy property – a meager bag of belongings in tow- to stake their claim on a patch of land that’s been cordoned off and turned into a squatter’s encampment.
