As the only Latin American film to participate in the European Film Market’s Co-Production Market, Chilean filmmaker“With this new genre film, we seek to connect with a wider global audience,” said producer Rocio Jadue of Fábula , who describes the film as a cross between a Western and a thriller.

Guzzoni wrote his first two features, “Dog Flesh” and “Jesus,” on his own but “Land of Savages” is the first screenplay he is co-writing, now on its final draft, with prominent Chilean playwright Pablo Manzi. “We were drawn to each other’s works as we both deal with similar themes: corruption in politics, classism, the double morality standards of people in power, among other things,” he said.

On a macro level, “Land of Savages” is a reflection on the eradication of the black/slave populations in Southern American countries like Chile, Peru and Argentina where a white, Euro-centric population now dominates their societies, said Guzzoni.
