Principal photography of dystopian thriller ‘Here be Dragons’ began in Mexico, with Ciudad Cinema producing alongside Machete Films.

Starring Chile’s Alfredo Castro (“El Conde”), Hernán Mendoza (“The Box”) and Mercedes Hernandez (“Identifying Features”), the tale set in 2054 follows 18-year-old Candelaria (played by Camila Calónico) as she tries to survive in a ravaged country ruled by sinister military forces. Fearing an impending barbaric invasion, Candelaria escapes from her father’s grip and the cruel regime, embarking on a journey where she discovers love and the truth about the barbarians. “Jikuri” revolves around Rayenari, a Tarahumara native in northern Mexico, whose life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of a peculiar poet named Antonin Artaud.
