Argentina’s film company has acquired worldwide rights to the Mexican filmmaker Karla Badillo’s OCA<\/em> before its world premiere in TIFF’s Discovery section. OCA<\/em> is a Mexican-Argentine co-production from Pina Films, Las Jaras, Pucar\u00e1 Cine, and Year Zero.<\/p>\n The film centers on Rafaela, a committed young nun from a dwindling community who begins a pilgrimage to a distant city where a new archbishop has been appointed. Along the way, Rafaela meets various travelers, including a paratrooper and members of the privileged class. Their encounters and perspectives reflect their own search for faith, meaning, and survival in a world characterized by spiritual devotion and material realities.<\/p>\n The film features Natalia Soli\u00e1n from Hueera: The Bone Woman<\/em> and Cecilia Su\u00e1rez from The House of Flowers<\/em>, alongside Leonardo Ortizgris, Gerardo Trejo-Luna, Ra\u00fal Briones, and Enrique Arreola. The film was produced by Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 C\u00f3rdova, Federico Eibozyc, Karla Badillo, and Federico Sande Novo.<\/p>\n Paulina Portela, CEO of the film company, negotiated the deal with Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 C\u00f3rdova from Pina Films, describing OCA<\/em> as "a rich, unique vision that combines poetry and existential studies in a way that we rarely see in contemporary cinema." C\u00f3rdova added that partnering with the film company for OCA<\/em>‘s international journey opens the door to a path they have dreamed of for a long time: a partner who understands the value of auteur cinema and knows how to combine it with audience appeal, striving for emotions, risks, and beauty.<\/p>\n The film company’s highlights include Romina Paula and Rosario Cervio’s docudrama Again Again<\/em>, which debuted in Rotterdam in 2019 and played at San Sebastian, as well as the Mafi Collective’s documentary Oasis<\/em>, selected for the 2024 Berlin Forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction to OCA Argentina’s film company has acquired worldwide rights to the Mexican filmmaker Karla Badillo’s OCA before its world premiere in TIFF’s Discovery section.
