Germany's Weltfilm has hired Bolivian filmmaker Martín Boulocq's "Criminal Body," a work in progress (WIP) in the industry section of the Santiago Intl. Film Festival, run by festival co-founder Gabriela Sandoval.
Weltfilm was founded in 2003 by Kristina Konrad and Christian Frosch and has participated in co-productions with Latin America, Africa and Europe. The company strives to produce films of all genres, including documentaries and arthouse films with an international appeal.
It joins co-producers Boulocq's CQ Films, Argentina's Maravillacine and France's L'Œil Vif. The project recently secured three funds in France: CNC, Toulouse Métropole and Procirep-Angola.
