BUENOS AIRES — Paris-based Alpha Violet has acquired international rights to Fernanda Valadez’s feature debut, “Sin Señas Particulares,” which world premieres in World Dramatic Competition at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.
Studying at Mexico’s Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica, , Valadez directed the short film “400 Maletas,”“Sin Señas Particulares” follows a mother searching desperately for her son, who has gone missing en route to the U.S.-Mexico border. Instead, she meets the young Miguel, recently deported from the U.S., who is eager to be reunited with his mother in Mexico, a country he hardly recognizes.
The title – literally “non distinguishing features” – is symbolic. “I wanted to comment on the wave of violence and crimes in Mexico which affects everyone. In this situation, Mexicans are indistinguishable, only recognized by the people who love them,” Valadez told Valadez produced “The Darkest Days of Us,” directed by Astrid Rondero, which was nominated this year for best first feature and best actress by the Mexican Academy of Cinematic Arts).
“It is an enormous pleasure for us at Alpha Violet to work on a strong new female voice coming from Mexico. We were deeply moved by this powerful and emotional film that makes spectators open their eyes to a terrifying situation,” Devesa said at Ventana Sur.
