The thriller starring Hugo Silva and Irene Montalà, filmed in Mallorca

Faro’, an intimate horror thriller that narrates a family drama caused by the loss of a loved one, is a Spanish-Argentine co-production by Mr Miyagi Films and Vista Sur, starring Hugo Silva, with actress Irene Montalà and young actors Zoe Amao and Sergio Castellanos.

The feature film ‘Faro’ was shot in April 2022 between Mallorca, Menorca and Catalonia. The island settings that appear in the film are Port de Sóller, and various marine and coastal locations in the northern part of Mallorca.

Faro’ is sponsored by the Fundació Mallorca Turisme through the Mallorca Film Commission, as well as with the support of the ICAA, ICEC, IB3 Televisió and the Fundación Fomento del Turismo de Menorca, through the Menorca Film Commission.

The project was presented to the call for sponsorship of audiovisual works called by the Fundació MallorcaTurisme in 2022, to which other films competed such as “Pan de Limón con semillas de amapola”, by Benito Zambrano, “Quest”, by Antonina Obrador, the miniseries “Furia”, by Toni Bestard, the German series “König von Palma”, by Damian John Harper, or the fantasy series “Mòpies”, by Lluís Prieto, among others.

‘Faro’ is the second film by director Ángeles Hernández, who debuted with ‘Isaac’ in 2020.
