Up-and-coming Argentine production house Sewati Audiovisual has boarded “Portraits,” one of the most frightening titles pitching at this year’s Morbido Lab for genre projects within the framework of a rescheduled and in-person Sanfic Industria.
Sewati joins original Buenos Aires-based producers Latitud Audiovisual, co-founded in 2017 by “Portraits” director Gabriel Musco and Ezequiel de San Pio and Walter Ponte, both producers on the film, with the intention of creating quality audiovisual productions. “Portraits” is the company’s second feature.
“Portraits” will be directed by Gabriel Musco, a graduate of the prestigious Cievyc institute in Buenos Aires, who is quickly making a name for himself in the world of genre cinema after several impressive shorts – “The Limits of Love,” “Therapy in the Time of Zombies” among them – and his thrilling debut feature “Dark Fears,” about a kidnapping that takes an unexpected turn.

Argentine writer-director Andrew Sala (“Pantanal”) brings his new film “The Barbaric” to the highly competitive Works in Progress section of Sanfic Industria, and brings with it a heavy contender filled with violence, secrets and the echoes of power. In “The Barbaric,” Nacho leaves an abusive mother in the city to live and work with his estranged father on his cattle ranch in the Pampas plains. Once there, he must learn to find his way within a world of hidden histories and damning lineages.
Ignacio Quesada stars in the film alongside Marcelo Subiotto and rising talent Tamara Rocca — Rocca starred in Agustina San Martín’s debut “To Kill the Beast,” which featured at Guadalajara earlier this year. “The Barbaric” is a co-production between Le Tiro Cine and Nevada Cine.
Variety spoke with Sala ahead of the film’s Sanfic Industria premiere.
A powerful theme in “The Barbaric” is the loss of innocence.

Argentina’s Sebastian Schindel is venturing into unfamiliar territory with romcom-spy adventure hybrid “Mienteme” (“Lie to Me”), which he plans to shoot next year.
“Although most of my filmography falls into the “psychological thriller” genre, with a strong social context, what excites me most about making films is the possibility of exploring and experimenting in new areas,” said Schindel, adding: “I have always wanted to dive into the romantic comedy world for some time now, so ‘Mienteme’ is based on a cherished script I’ve been developing for the past few years.”
Schindel’s past films, including “The Crimes that Bind,” Argentina’s current submission to Spain’s Oscar equivalent, the Goyas, are screening on Netflix.
This time round, however, the Chilean-Argentine co-production has already been pre-financed through private equity and a Latin American distribution deal with Bf Paris, said co-producer-actor Lucas Akoskin. “We’d rather finance it through a...

If you’re seeking new stuff to watch, you can almost always be guaranteed that Netflix has got you covered with a giant collection of movies, shows and specials. Just this month alone has seen such major additions as the entire Jurassic Park trilogy, the extremely popular Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt flick Project Power, and quirky movies like Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
That’s enough to warrant a subscription on its own, but as usual, Netflix never stops and today bring us a content drop that contains a handful of new things you might want to check out when you’re done watching all of the stuff added earlier in the month.
For one, German series Biohackers joins the platform today. This conspiracy drama poses a lot of questions about how far scientists are willing to go and whether there’s even a...

Netflix is a never-ending content machine, adding new things to watch almost every single day of each month. August alone has seen a massive influx of new movies and shows for subscribers to absorb, including some incredible classics that fans have been ecstatic about. For instance, the entire Jurassic Park trilogy landed on the service early in the month alongside other beloved films like the bizarre Being John Malkovich, post-apocalyptic Mel Gibson flick Mad Max, and the unforgettable 1991 version of The Addams Family.
Plenty of people are probably still making their way through last month’s content, too, such as the second season of the hit show The Umbrella Academy, which landed on Netflix on July 31st. For those who’ve finally finished that up, though, the third and final season of The Rain was added on August 6th, ensuring no interruption to the flow of television shows to binge.
