Chile boasts a milestone presence in Cannes this year with new or consolidating companies leading the charge. Among them is Fernando Bascuñán’s Planta with three projects — two competing in Directors’ Fortnight: Domingo Sotomayor’s drama about a woman adopting a stray dog, “La Perra,” and Lisandro Alonso’s “Double Freedom” (“La libertad doble”). Picked up by Luxbox ahead of its world premiere in Cannes, it’s the sequel to Alonso’s “La Libertad,” which debuted in Cannes’ 2001 Un Certain Regard.
