What Happened
Lilith Films has joined the co-production of the Chilean drama 'A Woman Wants to Die' ('Una mujer quiere morir'). The film is already a co-production between Niña Niño Films (Chile), Gualicho Cine (Argentina), and Superfilmes (Brazil). It stars Paulina Garcia and Dindi Jane and is directed and written by Constanza Figari. The plot follows 33-year-old Fernanda, who has a death wish, and her mother Susana, who attempts to prevent it by taking her to a beach house. The film is backed by the Chilean Film Fund, Ibermedia, and Brazil's Ancine.
Why this Matters to You
If you are interested in international cinema, this development may bring a new Chilean-Argentine-Brazilian-French co-production to festivals and, eventually, to streaming services or theaters. The involvement of Lilith Films could lend additional production expertise to the project. The film's subject matter, exploring a death wish and familial intervention, could offer a poignant dramatic perspective.
What's Next
The production of 'A Woman Wants to Die' is likely to proceed with its expanded international partnership. Separately, Niña Niño Films is developing another project, a fiction series titled 'Tough Skin' ('Cuero de chancho'), directed by Alicia Scherson and supported by Chile's National Television Council (CNTV). That series, inspired by a 1990s case involving a lesbian murderer who disguises herself as a man, may represent another future offering from the Chilean production company.
