Six years after their first feature-length horror-animation film, La Casa Lobo, Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña arrive at the Cannes Film Festival 2024 with their new film, The Hyperboreans, selected for the Cinéastes Fortnight 2024.
Friends ofAri Aster - for whom they directed the animated sequence in Beau if Afraid - the two Chilean directors unveil a new hybrid and experimental project, on the borders of visual art, theater, animation and cinema. It's sure to intrigue many a festival-goer.
La Quinzaine des Cinéastes ' review: "Chileans León and Cociña co-wrote La casa lobo, their first hybrid animated feature, which won awards at major festivals around the world. With Los hiperbóreos, they continue their hand-crafted blend of puppetry, stop-motion and live action. At the crossroads of theater, science fiction, animation and faux biopic, this is the UFO of the selection: a paranoid delirium, inherited from Ruiz and Bolaño, populated by parallel worlds and haunted by the shadow of a Chilean Nazi writer as a demonic figure."
