Exclusive Trailer for Natalia Santa’s Malta, World Premiering at SXSW 2024

After premiering her launching The Dragon Protection at Cannes Supervisors’ Fortnight back in 2017, Colombian writer-director Natalia Santa is back with her 2nd function, Malta. Establish for an opening night in the International area at the 2024 version of the SXSW Movie Celebration this weekend break, the movie adheres to a young Colombian lady that imagines leaving her suffocating metropolitan truth and taking a trip the world, yet an unanticipated connection with a not likely guy will certainly make her face her real objectives for leaving. Ahead of the best, we delight in to solely debut the very first trailer.

“Malta delves into themes of femininity, motherhood, and sexuality through the lens of Mariana, a young woman yearning to escape her home and its burdensome familial legacy. She seeks a place where she can carve out her identity without shouldering the weight of her mother’s failures and a history she’s determined not to repeat,” keeps in mind the supervisor. “For me, Mariana embodies a sensory journey: she observes, smells, listens, and seduces, absorbing her surroundings and the people in her life. While navigating Bogotá’s bustling chaos and its eight million residents, she remains detached, both from her environment and herself. This disconnection shapes her relationships, especially with her mother, whom she regards with shame, and other women like her sister Mónica and Luisa, a pregnant teenage neighbor of her older brother.”

See the exclusive trailer listed below.

Malta premieres on March 9 at SXSW.
