“Chapa 100,” the 2025 Atlas Workshops Development Award winner, now a potential highlight at Locarno’s Africa-focused strand Open Doors, has been boarded by Italy-based sales agent Luminalia.
In advanced development, “Chapa 100” is lead produced by filmmaker Lara Sousa at Kulunga Filmes, based out of Mozambique capital Maputo, behind “Nós, Povo das Ilhas,” directed by Elson Santos and Sousa.
“‘Chapa 100’ is my love letter to Maputo.
In a drive into sub-Saharan African cinema, Luminalia is also representing “The Prophet” and “Atcha Atcha,” the new doc by award winning Senegalese director Mamadou Dia.
Luminalia was founded precisely on this idea: to question our own ethnocentrism and bring a more conscious approach while working with non-Western titles,” Priante told Variety.
