Bendita Film Sales Boards Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Title ‘The Hyperboreans’ From ‘Wolf House’ Helmers Cristóbal León, Joaquín Cociña (EXCLUSIVE)


The film figures into 21 features selected for the sidebar and one of three that showcases rated Latin American talent.

“The Hyperboreans encompasses a daring fusion of live-action and stop motion, speculative fiction and fabulated biography, that takes audiences on a mesmerizing journey through realms both familiar and fantastical, exploring the haunting echoes of history and the boundless potential of the human psyche. The film follows “La Jauría” star Antonia Giesen as she plays a version of herself, an actress and psychologist whose tortured patient (Francisco Visceral Rivera) is overwhelmed by the voices of a long-dead Nazi poet, Miguel Serrano. The charge scripts his encounters, and Antonia enlists creatives León & Cociña to help her bring the narrative to life, unaware that a plot to lure her further into its warped, abstract history lesson is afoot.
