White on White
Best Director and FIPRESCI Prize winner at the 76th Venice Film Festival, White on White is set at the dawn of the twentieth century. Pedro, a photographer arrives in Tierra del Fuego, a violent and hostile territory, to immortalize the marriage of a powerful landowner. Fascinated with the bride-to-be’s beauty, he betrays the rules and is left to face a land crawling with violence and marked by the genocide of its indigenous inhabitants.
“An exacting, disquieting film about the corrupting influence of beauty and power.” – Screen International
“Distressingly beautiful and subtly provocative, “White on White,” the slow-burn second feature from the Spanish-Chilean director Théo Court, considers the casual violence of image-making against a 19th-century backdrop of flesh-and-bones barbarism.” – The New York Times
“A loner photographer looks down on white settlers without realizing he’s part of the problem in a striking, ambiguous historical drama.” – The Guardian
