Making main competition at the 49th Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival in Spain, “Prison in the Andes” (“Penal Cordillera”) trains a spotlight on the scandalous imprisonment of five high-ranking officers of General Augusto Pinochet’s brutal military junta.
We find these men serving out their sentences amounting to some 800 hundred years in a well-appointed mansion with a pool, gardens and aviaries in the Andes foothills and where their so-called guards wait on them hand and foot. At times, violence erupts among the guards, who are virtual prisoners themselves.
“I wanted the story to be a metaphor for Chilean society,” said its writer-director Felipe Carmona who chose to make this tale of misplaced justice his debut feature. While the facts around the case are depicted in the film, he has inserted elements of fantasy and fictional scenes to bring the story to life, imagining the conversations they would have had among themselves.

Before a crowd of filmmakers and journalists, Mexico’s Guadalajara Festival reached an industry crescendo on Tuesday with the presentation of prizes for its Co-Production Meetings which brought producers and directors face to face with potential partners as well as giving opportunities to filmmakers to pitch their projects to industry service companies sponsoring in-kind awards.
It was difficult to discern any strong trends among favored projects as prize winners ranged from documentaries to features, though fatherless or deteriorating families seemed to be at the core of many of the titles. Recipients hailed from across Central and South America and were about equally divided between men and woman, with some prizes going to teams comprising just female filmmakers a sign perhaps that the legendary machismo of Latin America may be subsiding, at least, in the film industry.

Paris-based sales company Luxbox, which handled sales on the Martin Scorsese-backed “A Ciambra” and Berlinale hit “The Heiresses,” is driving into production, partnering with Dominga Sotomayor’s Chile-based Cinestación on “Penal Cordillera.”
Focusing on edgy or adventurous titles often with a high-profile festival presence, Luxbox will also handle world sales on “Penal Cordillera,” the feature debut of Chilean playwright-director Felipe Carmona.
Written by Carmona, with script consultancy from Alejandro Fadel, whose “Muere, Monstruo, Muere” plays Cannes’ Un Certain Regard this year, “Penal Cordillera” is based on a true story. It turns on the last stand made by five army generals of the Augusto Pinochet regime, the dictator’s most murderous torturers whose sentences for human rights violation totalled over 800 years in prison, to avoid at any cost their transfer from a luxury prison in the Andes foothills.
