Los impactados

2022 was a fruitful one for Argentinean filmmaker Lucía Puenzo – she put out two features in the omnibus Tell It Like a Woman and Dive, and shot television series work in “La Jauría” and “Señorita 89” respectively. This year we’ll be seeing a Ventana Sur film co-production forum workshopped (conceived with Lorena Ventimiglia) 2019 supernatural element project see the light. Production on Los impactados began in August of ’22 with the likes of Mariana Anghileri and Mariana Di Girólamo (Pablo Larraín’s Ema star). Esteban Puenzo, Mark Johnson and Paula P. Manzanedo produce alongside Lucía Puenzo.

Gist: Co-written by Lucía Puenzo and Lorena Ventimiglia, this is about a girl wakes up from a coma six weeks after being struck by lightning.

Release Date/Prediction: This could be gunning for a comp slot at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
