Argentina/USA/Germany/France/Qatar – 110 min. – Language: Spanish
[Settimana della Critica – Competition]
HUNTING SEASON (Temporada de Caza) by Natalia Garagiola will have its world premiere in the competition of the 32nd Settimana Internazionale della Critica.
Hunting Season is the first feature film from Argentinian director Natalia Garagiola, after her shorts films Rincón de López (2011) shown at the Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, Yeguas y Cotorras (2012) premiered at the Critic’s Week at Cannes, and Sundays (2014) codirected with Kræsten Kusk (Denmark) and selected at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes.
The film tells the story of a respected hunting guide in Patagonia faced with the education of his biological son recently expelled from school. In a wild environment, the father tames his son and teaches him how to respect nature and human relationships.
Hunting Season is an intimate film with a central focus on an impossible father and son relationship. Set in the particular context of hunting, there is a wordless exchange, a silent dialogue that cuts across everything and takes it to a primal, common level.
The film features Lautaro Bettoni (Nahuel), Germán Palacios (Ernesto), Boy Olmi (Bautista) and Rita Pauls (Clara).
This Argentinian-French-USA-German-Qatari film is produced by Rei Cine SRL (Argentina) with Gamechanger Films (USA), Augenschein Filmproduktion (Germany), Les Films de l’Étranger (France), and supported by INCAA (Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales), Torino Film Lab (Production Award), Doha Film Institute, World Cinema Fund, Strasbourg Eurométropole, Buenos Aires Lab, Toulouse Cinéma en Construction, Cannes Nordic Factory, Rotterdam Lab, BrLab, TyPA.
International Sales are handled by Alpha Violet.
