The Yellow Affair, a film sales company with offices in Helsinki and London, has acquired global sales rights to the drama Morro, directed by Rodrigo García Saiz. The film is set to debut at the New Directors’ sidebar of the San Sebastian Film Festival on September 18. This acquisition marks a significant step in the film's journey toward international distribution and recognition. Morro was shot on 35mm film, a traditional format that provides a distinct visual texture, in rural Mexico. The story unfolds against the backdrop of simmering violence, a common theme in contemporary Mexican cinema that reflects the country's ongoing struggles with crime and social unrest. The film centers on Mateo, a veterinarian whose life becomes entangled in the complex web of local tensions and dangers. Rodrigo García Saiz is known for his compelling narratives that blend personal and political themes. Morro is expected to highlight his ability to craft intimate stories within broader societal contexts. The choice to shoot in 35mm, rather than digital formats, underscores the film's artistic intent and its desire to evoke a particular aesthetic and emotional response from viewers. The San Sebastian Film Festival, held annually in Spain, is a key event in the European film calendar, attracting international attention and serving as a launchpad for emerging filmmakers. By premiering at the New Directors’ sidebar, Morro will be introduced to a global audience, potentially opening doors for further festival participation and theatrical releases in various countries.
