Bendita Film Sales has acquired international distribution rights for Salitre (also known as Carapace), a psychological horror thriller directed by Norma Vila. The film is set to premiere at the Sitges Film Festival, where it will be featured in the Fantàstic In-Competition Selection—a section that showcases some of the most promising and innovative genre films from around the world. The Sitges Film Festival is a well-known event in the horror and fantasy film community, often drawing attention to emerging talent and unique storytelling. Salitre marks Norma Vila’s debut as a feature film director. The film stars Nagore Aranburu, an actress who has previously appeared in Querer, a series that won top honors at the Series Mania festival. Aranburu also recently received a Goya Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Sundays. Her performance in Salitre is expected to be a highlight of the film. Joining Aranburu in the cast is Haizea Carneros, known for her role in Sacamantecas, a critically acclaimed Spanish horror film. Carneros brings a strong presence to Salitre, adding depth to the psychological tension that the film is known for. The film explores themes of identity, fear, and the unknown, using a slow-burn approach to build suspense and unease. With international rights secured by Bendita Film Sales, Salitre is now positioned for wider recognition beyond its festival premiere. The acquisition suggests that the film has caught the attention of distributors who see potential for it to resonate with audiences interested in psychological horror and atmospheric storytelling. As the film prepares for its global rollout, fans of the genre are likely to take note of this emerging talent and the unique vision behind Salitre.
