Buyers are circling around Annie Canavaggio\u2019s upcoming Panama Canal docudrama \u201c1977, The Treaty: Son of Tiger and Mule,\u201d which will trace Panama\u2019s contentious path towards recovering its sovereign rights to the Canal. Scoring best docu at the December round of Panama\u2019s state fund awards, the docu will focus on the seven-year negotiations leading up the signing of the treaty by General Torrijos and President Carter, and its ratification afterwards.<\/p>\n

Taking a page from Michael Winterbottom\u2019s \u201cThe Road to Guantanamo,\u201d Canavaggio aims to blur fact and fictional re-creation in her docudrama. \u201cI hope to show more nuanced facets of the key players in this major event by combining reenactments with archival material,\u201d said Canavaggio. \u201cI want to show Torrijos as a human being, not just the hero he has been portrayed to be,\u201d she said. \u201cBy merging my co-writer Vicente Ferraz\u2019s investigative skills and my narrative flair, I think we can achieve what I want,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Produced by Maria Neyla Santamaria, \u201c1977, The Treaty\u201d is among a dozen projects selected to participate in the 6th Panama Int\u2019l Film Festival\u2019s inaugural workshop Talent Campus Latino, in collaboration with the Goethe Institute.<\/p>\n

This will be the fourth docu for the London Film School grad who has covered a variety of subjects, starting with her first doc, \u201cLiza Like Her,\u201d which tells the story of a gay indigenous native, followed by \u201cBreaking the Wave,\u201d about three talented local surfers in the surfing mecca of Santa Catalina, Panama.\u00a0 She is now in post on her third doc, \u201cIn Search of the Rabbit Indian,\u201d which took her into the depths of the Panamanian jungle in search of a mysterious, allegedly cannibalistic tribe. \u201cI think making documentaries and shorts prepare you to make feature films,\u201d said Canavaggio. \u201cMy next project will probably be a fiction feature.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
