Paris-based company Lucky Number has boarded Dominga Sotomayor’s “La Perra” ahead of its world premiere at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight.
The film is produced by RT Features, the Brazilian outfit behind Walter Salles’ Oscar-winning film “I’m Still Here,” as well as Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name;” and Planta, the Chilean company whose credits include Lisandro Alonso’s “Double Freedom;” Cannes Critics’ Week winner “Simon of the Mountain;” Nayra Ilic García’s Tribeca prizewinning “Cuerpo Celeste.”
Lucky Number will launch international sales in Cannes. Sotomayor already has a track record in the festival circuit. Her feature debut, “Thursday Till Sunday,” premiered in Rotterdam in 2012 where it won the Hivos Tiger award, while her second feature, “Mar,” premiered in the Berlinale Forum in 2015. With 2018 movie, “Too Late To Die Young,” she became the first female director to win Locarno’s best director award in 2018.
“La Perra” is headlined by Chilean actress Manuela Oyarzún (“The Good Life”), David Gaete (“A Place Called Dignity”), Selton Mello (“I’m Still Here”), Paula Luchsinger and Paula Dinamarca.
The film is set on a remote, wind-lashed island off the Chilean coast, where Silvia earns her living harvesting seaweed and shares a quiet life with her partner. “When she adopts a stray puppy, Yuri, her days fill with joy, love, and a tenderness that stirs a long-suppressed longing for motherhood. But Yuri’s sudden disappearance reawakens a haunting childhood trauma, forcing Silvia to confront a past she has never truly left behind,” the synopsis reads.
Lucky Number’s Olivier Barbier, Ola Byszuk and Lenny Porte said, “‘La Perra’ is pure cinema: visually striking and narratively captivating in its depth.”
“Driven by a mesmerizing, charismatic performance, it unfolds as an emotional journey in which the life of a human being, unable to find peace or closure, mirrors and intertwines with that of a restless, wandering dog,” the trio added.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
