Writer-director Felipe Gálvez makes his revelatory debut with THE SETTLERS, a searing and indelible take on the Western. At the turn of the 20th century, three horsemen set out across the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, tasked with securing a wealthy landowner's vast property. Accompanying a reckless British lieutenant and an American mercenary is mestizo marksman Segundo, who comes to realize their true mission is to murderously "remove" the indigenous population. Painterly yet piercing, this acclaimed frontier epic turns a bold eye to the past, daring to reimagine its depiction in the present and for the future. Chile's Best International Feature Film entry to the 96th Academy Awards. Winner of the Cannes Un Certain Regard FIPRESCI Prize.
