Martín Boulocq Preps San Sebastian Co-Production Forum-Bound ‘The Strange Woman’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAnna Marie de la Fuente Bolivian filmmaker Martin Boulocq’s drama in development, “The Strange Woman” (“La Mujer Extraña”), which participates in the upcoming San Sebastian Film Festival Co-Production Forum, has tapped Uruguay’s Cimarrón Cine, part of the Mediapro Studio since 2023, as a co-production partner.
This would be the second time it has backed a Boulocq film. In 2022, it co-produced Tribeca Best Screenplay-winner “The Visitor” (“El Visitante”) about an ex-convict who returns home in a bid to restart his life and reconnect with his young daughter.
Among the leading production companies in Uruguay, Cimarrón has provided production services to Oscar-nominated “Society of the Snow” and co-produced Prime Video’s lauded series, “Iosi, the Regretful Spy,” alongside Oficina Burman, among others.
Lead produced by Boulocq and Andrea Camponovo’s CQ Films, “The Strange Woman” is set in a future Bolivia torn apart by the war over lithium, a vital component in EVs and smartphones, where a Quechua teen chooses to become a surrogate in a desperate bid to escape poverty.
