Picked up by Latido Films<\/strong> at last year\u2019s San Sebastian Film Festival<\/strong>, Chilean suspense-thriller \u201cImmersion,\u201d headed by Chile\u2019s biggest star and Pablo Larra\u00edn regular, Alfredo Castro<\/strong>, has dropped its first trailer, which Variety bows exclusively.<\/p>\n

Nicol\u00e1s Postiglione\u2019s debut feature, which he co-wrote with fellow filmmakers Agust\u00edn Toscano (\u201cThe Snatch Thief\u201d) and Moises Sep\u00falveda (\u201cThe Illiterate\u201d), revolves around a father, Ricardo, who has taken his two teen daughters to their rundown family home by a lake in southern Chile. While out sailing, they spot a sinking boat with three local fishermen shouting for help. Despite his daughters\u2019 entreaties, he refuses to help the trio who he thinks look suspicious.<\/p>\n

The trailer opens on that scene at the lake, followed by subsequent scenes that grow in tension and suggest that his fears may not have been unfounded after all. Or perhaps, that his prejudices may have triggered otherwise innocent people to act out in their own defense.<\/p>\n

In his director\u2019s statement, Postiglione explained: \u201cI think one of the main sources of the way that we behave in community is fear: We commonly live in defense mode and many of the choices we make are guided by a feeling of threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live mistaken about who our neighbor really is. We are often isolated and immersed in prejudice, which sometimes leads to violent behavior,\u201d he continued, adding that his main motivation was to explore \u201cclass prejudices and observe to what extent these attitudes hinder the possibility of an honest encounter between people.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the conflict that arises between the father and his daughters, who goad him into going back to save the fishermen, Postiglione also delves into the issues of generational and gender gaps.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Immersion,\u2019 as a concept and title, is intended to represent the experience of this film, which immerses the characters in a situation that becomes increasingly tense, not necessarily true to what is actually happening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmersion\u201d is produced by Chile\u2019s Juntos Films, the new production company set up by Francisco Herv\u00e9, Daniela Raviola and Sep\u00falveda as well as Isabel Orellana\u2019s Araucaria Cine, Nicol\u00e1s San Mart\u00edn and Alejandro Wise\u2019s Primate Lab and Mexico\u2019s Whisky Content.<\/p>\n

Herv\u00e9, Orellana, Sepulveda, San Martin, Wise and Whisky\u2019s Juan Bernardo Gonz\u00e1lez serve as producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
