Carlos Eichelmann Kaiser, director of the Mexican film ‘Red Shoes’, said on Saturday that his movie tries to open up the conversation of masculine energy and how to use it in a positive way, but the principle theme is violence against women.
‘Red Shoes’ is one of the 15 films competing in the international competition section for the coveted Golden Peacock prize at the 53rd International Film Festival of India (Iffi) here.
Kaiser, along with producers Alejandro De Icaza and Gabriela Maldonado and lead actress Natalia Solian, interacted with the audience in the ‘Table Talks’ programme here on Saturday.
He said that the main idea for the film originated from the relationship he had with his father.

Rome-based 102 Distribution is bringing onto the market the Mexico-Italo co-production “500 Millions of Red Shoes,” directed by first time director Carlos Eichelmann Kaiser and co-produced by Mexico’s Bhd Film. Gabriela Maldonado and Alexandro de Icaza are producing for Bhd.
“500 Million” was financed by Mexico’s Imcine film agency with the Eficine tax incentive instrument established in 2006 by article 189 of the income tax law. It shot in the spring of 2020.
The movie went into production in Mexico where red shoes have become symbolic of the protest surrounding violence against women. The red shoe movement began with an art project in 2009 by Mexican artist Elina Chauvet.
A fiction film, “500 Millions of Red Shoes” is set in a forgotten part of the Mexican mountains. Tacho, a farmer, tends to his plot of land as life passes him by. When he receives news of his daughter’s death, he travels to the city to bring her body home.

Set in the border town of El Paso, Texas, “The Other Tom” follows a young single mother, Elena, and her long-haired son, Tom, whose disruptive behavior in class makes him a “problem child” in the eyes of the school. The absence of a father,...

Media Luna New Films has acquired worldwide rights to Rodrigo Fiallega’s gritty Mexican drama “Ricochet,” whose star Martijn Kuiper won best actor Sunday at the Morelia Film Festival. Media Luna will present the film to buyers at the American Film Market, which starts Monday.
In “Ricochet,” quiet loner Martijn leads a hermit’s life on the outskirts of the city after his son was murdered at the local festival.
