Belgium’s Stenola Productions, behind Joachim Lafosse’s 2022 Cannes Competition player “The Restless” and this year’s San Sebastian’s Golden Shell contender “A Silence,” has boarded “Elena,” written by Cannes Camera d’Or winner César Díaz (“Our Mothers”) and a potential highlight at this month’s Ventana Sur Proyecta forum.
Stenola, which looks set to handle part of post-production, joins Norwegian lead producer Staer, founded by Elisa Fernanda Pirir, and Lithuania’s Just a Moment on a film which marks the anticipated feature debut of Dalia Huerta Cano, whose “Flesh That Remembers” won best doc short at Mexico’s Morelia Film Festival and Df Docs.
Producers Ragna Midtgard and Pirir and director Dalia Huerta will attend Ventana Sur, a joint venture of Cannes Marché du Film, the Cannes Festival and Argentine film-tv agency Incaa, to court a sales agent and Latin American partners in Mexico and Guatemala to develop the screenplay.
