variety.comJohn Hopewell Chief International Correspondent LOCARNO — Tiempo Libre, the Lima-based production house behind Peruvian Oscar candidate “Videophilia (and Other Viral Syndromes),” has boarded “Valves” (“Valvas”), the second feature film from Andrea Hoyos, whose feature debut “Autoerotic,” established her as one of the forthright rising stars of Peru’s still expanding film industry.
Verony Centeno, a Peruvian actress with significant experience in film and dance, is attached as the film’s lead. Hoyos is at Locarno as part of its Directors’ Club at Open Doors, its major Latin American project and talent platform.
She is also screening “Autoerotic” as part of its Open Doors screenings. Hoyos’ follow-up, “Valves,” is now set up at Episodio 14, its main production company and also based in Peru, and Tiempo Libre.
Peru’s Lady Vinces and Juan Daniel Férnandez Molero are serving as producers. “Videophilia” won a Rotterdam Tiger Award. In development, and seeking further co-producers, said Hoyos, “Valves” is described as a road movie that touches on themes such as trans masculinity, relationships, and fear of the unknown.
