After screening at the Toronto International Film Festival and coinciding with its San Sebastian bow, has been granted exclusive access to the trailer for “La Jauria,” the first feature effort from award-winning Colombian director Andrés Ramírez Pulido .
“Since the writing of the script, we’ve tried to make the film not only heard and seen, but also felt,” said Pulido. An oppressive and weighty climate is portrayed onscreen by furrowed brows, labored breathing and sweat that drips from every pore. The scenes are dark and eerily stagnant, largely taking place on the grounds of a neglected estate.
“We discovered that through angelic voices and very low, deep sounds, we could evoke what happens not only within the characters, but what happens out of frame, that the spectator doesn’t see,” he added. “One of the aesthetic decisions I made in the feature film was to move away from that hyperrealism expected in Latin American films that address social issues and, above all, marginal communities,” he said.
