As a seasoned movie connoisseur who has traversed the silver screen landscape for decades, I must say that Latido Films has truly outdone themselves this time around! Their latest lineup of films is as diverse as it is captivating, offering something for every discerning cinephile.
Leading Spanish film sales agent, Latido Films, has finalized multiple agreements for various prominent independent films from its collection. These include Carlos Marques-Marcet’s unique blend of Spanish dark comedy and musical titled “They Will Be Dust,” Pablo Hernando’s film “A Whale” that was showcased at Sitges, as well as Bartosz M. Kowalski’s chilling Polish thriller “Night Silence.
Following its triumph at the Toronto Film Festival’s esteemed Platform Award, “They Will Be Dust” by Marques-Marcet has been acquired for distribution in Bulgaria, Taiwan (by Sky Digi), and Japan (by M-Pictures).
In this movie, a character named Claudia receives a heartbreaking diagnosis and chooses to pass away with dignity at a Swiss clinic. Her husband, who’s been by her side for over four decades, can hardly fathom life without her. Their grown daughter steps in to navigate the challenging circumstances. Although the plot is heavy-hearted, I found myself saddened not just by the film’s ending, but also by the fact that my own journey watching this beautiful piece had come to an end.

Latido has secured agreements to distribute Hernando’s “A Whale” in three locations, but the exact locations have yet to be disclosed. This movie narrates the tale of Ingrid, an elite assassin who possesses extraordinary powers that help her escape from seemingly insurmountable predicaments. Yet, these abilities come at a cost, and with each escape from those perilous situations, she becomes less human than she initially was.
Four distribution agreements for Kowalski’s chilling horror movie “Night Silence” have been finalized by Latido, allowing the feature to be screened in SAARC countries, Taiwan, and Spain, with another region yet to be announced. The film is set within a nursing home where a recent arrival discovers a shocking secret hidden deep within the building’s basement.
The Spanish film titled “Raqqa: Spy vs Spy,” directed by Gerardo Herrero and featuring Alvaro Morte from “Money Heist,” has been sold in advance for screening in over 15 regions, such as France, parts of Europe, Africa, Poland, several Middle Eastern and North African markets, SAARC, Taiwan, and Bulgaria. The plot is set in 2014, following an international spy named Haibala as he chases one of the most wanted ISIS leaders on the streets of Raqqa.

Simon Casal’s gritty sci-fi thriller “Artificial Justice” was bought by over 20 regions worldwide, including France and French-speaking nations (Family Films), Australia and New Zealand (Palace Films), Poland (Media 4 Fun), 10 Latin American countries (Cineplex), Greece (Mariolis Single), German-speaking regions (Panda Storm). Film Master acquired the film for distribution in 10 Middle East and North Africa markets, as well as the SAARC countries.
Since the global cinema ticket purchasing habits have shifted significantly following the pandemic, we’ve noticed a clear split in consumer preferences,” explains Nathalie Curutchet from Latido. “Some customers now exclusively seek action, high-concept thrillers, and horror movies, while others are only interested in A-list festival titles or films with a powerful concept and marketing pitch that is easy to promote theatrically in the art house market.
She mentioned: “Universal family dramas stand out as exceptions since older audiences continue to frequent cinemas, forming a significant demographic. Luckily for our company, we boast an extensive array of films across various genres – horror, comedy, thrillers, and arthouse. This diverse selection caters to a broad customer base, which contributes to our success in a market that’s always changing conditions.
