Alief Snags ‘Horizonte‘ by ‘Land and Shade’ Camera d’Or Winner César Augusto Acevedo, Bows Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
U.K.-French film company Alief has boarded “Horizonte” by César Augusto Acevedo, winner of the 2015 Cannes Camera d’Or with ‘Land and Shade.’
“We have been fans of Cesar Augusto since his first film, ‘Land and Shade,’” said Alief’s Miguel Angel Govea who described “Horizonte” as a “solid story of regret and redemption.” “We were drawn by Acevedo’s lyrical screenplay, mesmerizing visuals and the standout performances by Chile’s grande dame, Paulina Garcia (Sebastian Lelio’s ‘Gloria’) and Colombian leading man Claudio Cataño, who stars in Netflix’s upcoming ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude,’” said Govea who said that Alief first eyed the drama at the 2024 Toulouse Cinélatino Films in Progress 43 where it won the Grand Prix Cinema en Construction prize. “We are thrilled to introduce this supernatural drama to buyers at San Sebastian who are looking for something exotic to release in cinemas with international stars,” said Govea, who co-founded Alief alongside partner, Brett Walker.
