Ventana Sur Animation! Feature ‘The Factory Beyond the Hill’ Brings Brazilian Literary Giant J.J. Veiga to the Big Screen for the First Time (EXCLUSIVE)


Ventana Sur Animation! buzzy title “The Factory Beyond the Hill” brings Brazilian literary giant J.J. Veiga to the big screen for the first time.

Among the buzziest titles at Ventana Sur ’s Animation!, Lucas Abrahão & Ricardo Kump’s “The Factory Beyond the Hill” brings multi-awarded Brazilian author J.J. Veiga to the big screen for the first time. His portrayal of Brazil’s rural heartlands is unmatched, and we’re committed to doing justice to his vision,” said Abrahão who added that some of Veiga’s short stories may have been adapted for television but never in cinema. These are areas of central Brazil that are far away from the most picturesque scenarios and from our urban centers, really kind of ‘middle of nowhere.’ Since he wrote most of his stuff during the military dictatorship, there’s a lot of allegory regarding authoritarianism in them, too,” Abrahão told Variety.
