Mexico’s Teresa Sánchez, winner of a 2022 Sundance World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for acting in Juan Pablo González’s “Dos Estaciones,” is set to star in the follow-up, his sophomore outing “Warm Water.”
Co-directed with Ana Isabel Fernández, co-writer of “Dos Estaciones,” “Warm Water” will also star Rafaela Fuentes, who played opposite Sánchez in “Dos Estaciones.”
Set up at Mexico’s Sin Sitio Cine, whose partners are González, Ilana Coleman, Makena Buchanan and Jamie Gonçalves, “Warm Water,” produced by Bruna Haddad and Gonçalves, will be brought onto the market at the San Sebastian Europe-Latin American Co-Production Forum, where it ranks as one of its highest-profile projects.
In development and scheduled to shoot in fall 2024, “Warm Water” turns on Ana María, a renowned actress who, after a devastating break-up, reluctantly travels to the rural countryside in Mexico to lead an acting workshop.

Thanks in part to a strong co-production drive, 13 Mexican-nationality movies play at San Sebastian this year, a major presence.
Perlak frames Alejandro G. Iñarritu Venice player “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.” Much of the heat, in industry terms at least, will come from the the premieres and sneak peeks.
In one highlight, Natalia Beristáin will world premiere “Noise” (“Ruido”), before its Netflix November bow. In possibly another, Mexico’s Laura Pancarte (“Non-Western”) unveils “Sueño Mexicano” as a pic-in-post.
Eyes will also be turned to Mexico’s latest generation of auteurs. One director is suddenly very well known: Longtime editor Natalia López Gallardo, a Berlin Jury Prize winner for “Robe of Gems.”
Others are bubbling under: Juan Pablo González whose “Dos Estaciones” impressed at Sundance, Rodrigo Ruiz Patterson, director of “Summer White,” another Sundance title, and Bruno Santamaría, a Gold Hugo best doc winner at the 2020 Chicago Festival...

"My father started it. But I've expanded it." The Cinema Guild has unveiled the US trailer for the Mexican indie drama titled Dos Estaciones, which translates to Two Seasons - it's also the name of the tequila in this film. This initially premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and it also played at New Directors/New Films. 50-year-old María García is the owner of Dos Estaciones, a once-majestic tequila factory struggling to stay afloat and the final hold-over from generations of Mexican-owned tequila plants in the highlands of Jalisco; the rest have all folded to foreign corporations. When a persistent plague and an unexpected flood cause irreversible damage and put the factory's financial situation in grave danger, María is forced to do everything she can to save her community's pride. Starring Teresa Sánchez as María, with Rafaela Fuentes, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Tatín Vera. This looks stunning -...

Juan Pablo González’s background as a documentarian and a cinematographer are in evidence in his fiction feature debut in both the measured approach and careful framing he takes to his story. His slow-build character study is as enjoyable for its small but frequent visual pleasures as it is for its gradually unfolding plot. We don’t meet businesswoman María García (Teresa Sánchez) straight away, instead being introduced to her tequila business by the hard work that is going on in her fields, harvesting agave plants. The physical exertion and skill needed to chop the leaves off each one as they are cut from the land is evident in every move the workers make. There’s talk of a ‘plague’ on another farm, the first hint of an environment that is shifting and a nod to the minor key in which the rest of the story will unfold.
García herself may be fully.

The laidback yet lively sound of “Baila Esta Cumbia,” one of Tejano queen Selena’s beloved hits, echoed throughout the Dolby Family Terrace on the top floor of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Sunday. The song was playing as part of a singalong – and sign-along – led by Deaf West Theatre in English, Spanish and American Sign Language as a pregame for 25th anniversary screenings of the biopic Selena, a centerpiece of the museum’s 2nd annual Community Celebration event.
As part of its founding commitment to accessibility and inclusion, the museum held a day of free food, drinks and activities that emphasized art and culture by and for the people of Los Angeles. While the celebration was available to all visitors on Sunday, the museum worked with a dozen community partners to invite their constituents to enjoy complimentary admission.

“Horror of the Zombies” (1974)
Directed By: Amando de Ossorio
Written By: Amando de Ossorio
Starring: Maria Perschy (Lillian), Jack Taylor (Howard Tucker), Barbara Rey (Noemi), Carlos Lemos (Professor Gruber), Manuel de Blas (Sergio), Blanca Estrada (Kathy)
Oh the horror I experienced watching Horror of the Zombies though not as bad as I expected it to be. This movie is similar to other movies released around this time. The movie is commonly known under the name “Blind Dead.” It has also been released under the title “The Ghost Galleon” and in Spain under its original title “El buque maldito.” The other Blind Dead movies are seemingly better as this one has 1970s cheesiness woven into it. The other three movies in this set are “Tombs of the Blind Dead”, “Return of the Blind Dead”, and “Night of the Seagulls.” It was originally released in the...

On Twitter, Blake Shelton tweeted about swerving to run over a turtle in Oklahoma. NPR's Barbara King questioned the star, as did some fans. Then things got ugly. Shelton eventually admitted he wasn't even in Oklahoma and it was a joke. But some of his fans are still threatening turtles to "defend" the star against "liberals," showing the danger of a careless joke, on any subject.
Over at Huffington Post, Conor Gaughan has a great Chick-Fil-a essay titled We Are Not Arguing Over Chicken. The whole thing is a great read, but I feel I, like everyone else, must call out this great passage. "When gays get so angry about a chicken sandwich, it is because Chick-fil-a has given around $5 million to fight to discriminate against us. When we praise brave Eagle Scouts who give up their badges in protest of the Boy Scouts of America's prejudice, it's not about...
