It will be produced by Chilean company Diluvio with Mômerade (France), Unafilm (Germany) and Circe Films (Netherlands) onboard as co-producers.
La Ultima Tierra is the feature debut of Paraguan director Pablo Lamar whose two earlier shorts I Hear Your Scream and Night Inside premiered at Cannes. Set on a tranquil mountain, the film is being produced by Sapukai Cine from Paraguay and coproduced by the French Mandra Films, the Brazilian Bananeira Filmes and Dutch producer Fortuna Films.
Run by the Netherlands Film Fund and International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), HBF Plus links Dutch film producers to international co-productions.
