Polar Star Films’ first fiction feature film is almost finished! Facing the Wind, directed by Meritxell Colell, is in the final stages of post-production.

A Spain-Argentina-France co-production, supported by Eurimages and developed at Cinéfondation L’Atelier Cannes, the film marries dance, documentary and cine de auteur to create a singular tale of home ties and relationships.

Facing the Wind tells the story of Monica, a renowned choreographer, on her return to Spain after 20 years of absence to see her sick father. Upon arriving her father has already died and her mother asks her to stay to sell the family home. In delaying her return to Buenos Aires Monica rediscovers her childhood landscapes and is forced to confront the past.

Facing the Wind is a Polar Star Films, Habitación 1520 and Paraiso Production production, supported by Eurimages, ICAA, INCAA, Cinéfondation L’Atelier, REC and Sources 2.

The Polar Star Films team will be at the Berlinale this week presenting the film if you’d like to meet up and find out more!
