Exclusive Trailer: It’s a Dog Eats Dog Type World in Federico Borgia’s ‘Prince’ – 2026 BFI London Film Festival

After co-directing Nunchaku (2011), Clever (2015) and docu The Champion of the World (2019) with Guillermo Madeiro, Uruguayan filmmaker Federico Borgia makes his solo directorial debut with the dark comedy Prince (2026), which will have its world premiere at the 2026 BFI London Film Festival. Known for working on themes of obsession, territoriality and a certain eccentricity, this begins after Isabel’s sudden death, Jaime, her former lover turned butler, is left in charge of Prince, her elegant and beloved Afghan Hound. According to her will, Prince has inherited Isabel’s house, where Jaime must continue to live with him—and which her human heirs can only claim after the dog’s death. But Isabel’s son and granddaughter are unwilling to accept the conditions peacefully. As Jaime struggles to protect Prince, he must also contend with his grief and the resentment of Diego, his estranged son from a past he refuses to face. The film stars The Delinquents’ Esteban Bigliardi (he just premiered Glaxo at TIFF), Roberto Suárez and Maitina De Marco. World premiere takes place October 8th. International sales is being handled by Alpha Violet. Here is the exclusive trailer:
