Totoral Media Lab, producers of Chilean docu “Bastard – the Legacy of a Criminal” (“Bastardo – la Herencia de un Genocida”), one of the four non-fiction features participating in Cannes’ Docs in Progress Showcase Chile, has inked a co-production pact at the Marché du Film with Stefilm, Stefano Tealdi’s Italian production house, and Sweden’s Laika Films and TV, represented by Andreas Rocksén and Catalina Donoso.
In addition to the deal, which all but assures its completion, the docu produced by Totoral’s Clara Taricco and Antonia Valenzuela and directed by Pepe Rovano has snagged the Torino Film Lab Audience Design Fund, which aims to implement innovative audience development and outreach strategies at the point of distribution.
Expressing pride for receiving international recognition through the Torino award, Rovano hailed “Bastard’s” “message of reparation and story of injustice and human rights violations.”
“Bastard” follows Rovano as he seeks a biological father he never knew.
