Colombian director Andrés Beltran has been busy the last few years helming major series for Netflix and local broadcaster Caracol – “Undercover Law,” “Bolivar” and “Wild District” – all the while developing his sophomore horror feature “Tarumama.”
Having put in his time directing other people’s writing, Beltran was able to shoot his long-gestated project and plans were made for a 2020 premiere. But, as was the case for so many filmmakers this year, plans were put on hold as Covid-19 shutdown cinemas and slowed or froze filming. Post-production was put on hold and eventually the film’s premiere pushed back.
Now, although there is still some post-production left to do, Beltran is finally premiering his film, a works in progress cut anyway, at Ventana Sur’s Blood Window. Cine Colombia, who boarded during development, will distribute domestically next year.

Ventana Sur’s Blood Window Works in Progress Screenings and Spotlight on International Projects sections have become standout events on the global genre films calendar. The event has matured in stature, but in content as well, featuring high-end content and expanding from a straight horror event to other genre areas such as science fiction and fantasy.
Internationally, the event has embarked on partnerships with the likes of Sitges Film Festival in Spain, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea and the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (Bifff) in Belgium.
In recent years Blood Window has been less about the blood and more about the window into what haunts humanity. Science fiction and fantasy allegories have come into vogue, and while there is still plenty to be afraid of in Blood Window’s selection, there is more to think about.

Netflix flooded its U.S. streaming service with an all-time high tonnage of original TV shows and movies in the third quarter of 2018 – a positive signal that the No. 1 subscription-video service will hit its customer-acquisition targets, according to a new report from Wall Street firm Cowen & Co.
The company bowed nearly 676 hours of originals for the quarter ended Sept. 30, which is equivalent to about 28 full days. That’s more than double the amount of Netflix originals launched in Q3 2017 (289 hours) and up 50% from 452 hours in Q2 2018, Cowen & Co. estimated. The relative quality of that glut of new content is debatable, but Netflix’s track record shows that greater amounts of exclusive programming leads to higher sub growth and lower churn.
In the most recent quarter, the company released new seasons of “Orange Is the New Black,” “Marvel’s Iron Fist” and “Bojack Horseman,” along with controversial drama “Insatiable” and Cary Fukunaga-directed psychological thriller “Maniac,...
