Mexican company Piano has joined Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Jengira's Magnificent Dream, producer Julio Chavezmontes told Variety.
Tilda Swinton is attached to the project. The report concerns a production partnership, not a completed release or a newly awarded prize.
Story and cast
The project description follows a Thai widow travelling to Sri Lanka's Sigiriya rock forest to scatter her husband's ashes.
Visions alter her experience of time and space, combining memory, history and supernatural elements with an aesthetic influenced by 1970s science fiction.
That is the film's fictional premise, not a reported real-life event.
The cast named by Variety also includes Jenjira Pongpas, Sakda Kaewbuadee and Connor Jessup.
The article does not provide a complete production schedule or release date.
Piano's approach
Chavezmontes describes the company's selection process as driven by a distinctive creative vision and the contribution it can make.
He presents international co-production as an exchange among creative and technical teams as well as a financing arrangement.
The interview appears as Piano marks its 15th anniversary and participates in the Morelia Film Festival.
Its wider film activity supplies context for the discussion, rather than making every title a new announcement.
For Jengira's Magnificent Dream, the confirmed development is Piano's involvement and the named attached performers.
Completion, distribution and audience reception remain later stages requiring separate announcements.
Piano has previously worked on international co-productions including Triangle of Sadness.
