Emilio Mayorga Argentina’s Gentil Cine and El Borde, Brazil’s Vitrine and Punta Colorada, Spain’s Doxa and French company 4a4 Productions have teamed for Albertina Carri’s seventh feature “White Roses, Fall!,” a gender-themed road-trip where the main characters include a porn filmmaker, a trans grandmother, non-binary grandchildren and lesbian clairvoyant vampires.“White Roses, Fall!” centers on Violeta, a young film director who once made an exultant lesbian porn movie and is now hired to make a mainstream and ecological porn feature.

She struggles with her ideas about genre and gender, which prevent her from shooting. Then she goes on the run with her feature debut’s actresses, finds a singular island and is struck by a new idea–she now wants to make a documentary about new formulas to express love.

Conceived as a collective project, this feature “requires multiple wills and resources. It will be shot in Argentina and Brazil, two countries with very unstable economies, which prompted us to seek international support.

That’s where our European co-producers came in, not only in financial terms but adding creative and executive input as well,” said Eugenia Campos at Gentil Cine , producer of Mercedes Gaviria’s “The Calm after the Storm.”Distribution in Brazil and Spain will be handled by S­ão Paulo and San Sebastián-based production and distribution company Vitrine.Distinguished Argentine director Carri has to fate explored experimental techniques and fresh storytelling mechanisms.
