Chile’s pioneering fantasy/horror filmmaker Jorge Olguin, whose latest feature “Análogos” recently won the jury prize at the 51st Curtas Festival do Imaxinario in Galicia, Spain, is venturing into series-making for the first time.
Backed by Cntv, Chile’s National Television Council, the series “Kalkutún: Trial of the Witches” will be participating in Ventana Sur’s SoloSerieS and Blood Window sections, thanks to a pact between Cntv and Ventana Sur, Latin America’s most prominent film and TV event.
Inspired by real events, ‘Kalkutún: Trial of the Witches’ is a gripping tale set in 1879 on Chile’s enigmatic Chiloé Island. The brutal murder of a supposed witch, Andrés Netor, triggers a unique legal process. Young prosecutor José González is tasked with investigating the witches of ‘La Recta Provincia.’ As he delves into their world, his rationality and sanity are challenged by the indigenous witches’ trials and the island’s chilling worldview.
