Spanish Goya Winner Arantxa Echevarría Boards Chile-Vietnam-Spain Co-Production ‘The Meeting’ (EXCLUSIVE)
An unprecedented co-production between Vietnam, Chile and Spain, ‘The Meeting,’ has found its director, Arantxa Echevarría.
The political thriller details a historical encounter between Chile’s doomed president Salvador Allende, whose downfall heralded the rise of the brutal military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet in 1973. They both changed the geopolitics of the world, they admired each other and were, in many ways, important to me,” said Echevarría who recalled how she sought to make a documentary with her 16mm camera on her first visit to Vietnam at the age of 23. She joins screenwriters Amelia Mora (“Undercover”) and Héctor Manteca to work on the screenplay based on the original script by Antonio Luco.
