ABOUT
NOT YOUR TYPICAL FILMMAKERS
In the world of cinema, Bhakti Films was born in 2012 with a bold vision: to become Iberoamerica’s ultimate transmedia powerhouse. We set out not just to tell stories, but to make a real impact through storytelling. Guided by our mantra, “We go beyond,” we embarked on this journey—unaware that ‘beyond’ was precisely where destiny awaited us.
Since then, we’ve crafted four award-winning feature films. Our debut, For a Fistful of Hair, was a challenging odyssey, a transformative experience that taught us the power of resilience.
Our second film, One Last Afternoon, soared to critical acclaim, premiering in the Official Selection of the Rome Film Festival. It gathered laurels from over 30 international festivals and sparked conversations that still resonate today. Now, as we prepare to unveil our third and fourth films, The Most Feared Skin, and Family Album, we look forward to the boundless adventures that await.
OUR HERO STORY
2012
THE CALL TO ADVENTURE
Bhakti Films started an adventure with more twists than a telenovela. We aimed to be Latin America’s storytelling maestros, armed with the bold slogan: ‘We go beyond… and we just can’t stop!’
2014
THRESHOLD OF TRIALS –RESILIENCE
First up, we stumbled upon the wisdom of Resilience. Against all odds, in 2014, our first film, For a Fistful of Hair, was released. It was a commercial flop and we were broke just two years after Bhakti was founded. It was like being hit by a painful plot twist in our own story, but we learned that in the story of life, resilience is the superhero we all need. Highlighted, because we needed it.
2013-2016
MEETING ALLIES – COOPERATION
Our second chapter was like assembling a motley crew. Our second film, One Last Afternoon, found itself selected by the ritzy Rome Film Festival for its grand opening. Red carpet and all. It was a lesson in Cooperation, the ‘Avengers’ of Latin American Art-house films, and yes, it’s highlighted because teamwork truly makes the dream work.
2016-2022
THE ABYSS – PATIENCE
Ah, 2020, the year the world got its own ‘stay-at-home’ movie. Our third film, The Most Feared Skin, plans hit a roadblock, teaching us the art of Patience. Patience, highlighted, because waiting for things to get back to normal was a masterclass in self-awareness.
2022-2024
RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR – PURPOSE
Now, on the cusp of releasing our third, The Most Feared Skin, and fourth Family Album films, we’re buzzing with excitement. Our creative pipeline is like a garden in full bloom, each idea blooming with Purpose. Yes, highlighted because Purpose is what ignites us.
HOW WE ROLL
Values aren’t just words—they’re the guiding stars for our cinematic journeys. Freedom, creativity, and purpose aren’t just buzzwords to us; they’re the beating heart of everything we create. Through the lens of empathy and joyfulness, we weave tales of resilience, cooperation, and transformation.
Each frame is a testament to our belief in the limitless potential of storytelling to inspire, connect, and elevate the human spirit. So if you’re ready to experience the magic of cinema infused with passion, and purpose, this is the sign you’re looking for.
