Buchichio searching for 'Zanahoria'

GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Uruguay's Lavoragine Films is joining with Argentina's Lagarto Cine and Brazil's Contagio Filmes to produce thriller "Zanahoria," Enrique Buchichio's second film following a breakout "Leo's Room." "Zanahoria," the helmer describes just like a "Uruguayan 'All the President's Males,' " is probably the finest-profile projects at Guadalajara's eighth Ibero-American Co-Production Meeting. The pic, which will depend on true occasions, triggers two Uruguayan journalists that are contacted having a guy who states he's a classic military officer. In a game title title of smoke and mirrors, he unveils human rights abuses committed by Uruguay's military dictatorship of 1973-1985, but this Deep Throat may well be a fraud. "Uruguayan cinema -- especially fiction films -- hasn't fully brought with a revision in the dictatorship, or its legacy," Buchichio mentioned. Helmer-scribe Buchichio re-written "Zanahoria" at Spain's Carolina Foundation and Sao Paulo's BR Lab. Lavoragine's Natacha Lopez and Maria Rama will produce with Lagarto's Hugo Castro Fau and Carolina Alvarez. Lavoragine and Contagio will submit an application for gold gold coin in the new Brazilian-Uruguayan co-production fund. The pic will shoot around Montevideo first-half 2013. The World Film Foundation acquired U.S. distribution rights to "Leo's Room," which charts a gay grad student's confused sexual awakening. France's Wide Management also offered "Room" to U.K. (TWA Delivering), France (Optimale) and Germany (Bildkraft), among multiple areas worldwide. The Co-Production Meeting's Churubusco Prize to find the best project is introduced Tuesday evening. Contact the number newsroom at news@variety.com
