Production is now underway in Mexico on Telemundo’s “Dinastía Casillas,” the next high-stakes saga in the network’s iconic Super Series franchise.

Starring Iván Arana as the infamous Ismael Casillas, María Fernanda Yepes, Raúl Méndez (“El Señor de los Cielos”) and Isabella Castillo, the series is a continuation of “El Señor de los Cielos” – the longest-running scripted franchise on Spanish-language television.

In the series, the unrelenting game of power and betrayal ensues for the Casillas after the disappearance of their patriarch, Aurelio. The new chapter begins as Diana and Ismael Casillas embark on a mission to liberate Aurelio and Rutila, when a series of unexpected events force them to rethink their strategies and alliances. They must fight for control of the cartel in a world where enemies lurk around every corner. As old ghosts return and new conflicts emerge, their path leads them to an explosive confrontation against El Gancho’s cartel.

Far-out cineaste Santiago Mohar Volkow (“Los Muertos”) will deliver his fourth feature “A History of Love & War” (“Una Historia de Amor y de Guerra”) to audiences at the 53rd edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

A viscally ludicrous examination of Mexico’s colonial history and the duplicitous nature of high-wealth, the film screens as part of the Harbor strand, dedicated to a wide range of contemporary narratives.

The plot opens on insufferably spoilt and corrupt real estate mogul Pepe Sanzhez Campo (Andrew Leland Rogers) as his mega-mall development plans roil on and an engagement offer to his affluent love interest Constanza (Lucía Gómez Robledo) proves a success.

When militant forces challenge his land rights and an otherwise cliche bachelor party turns sour after his fiancé’s lover Teo (Darío Yazbek Bernal) sets off a rip-roaring tide change, Pepe’s left with a reckoning that derails his privileged future.
