Los Colonos movie posters and titles
From Wikipedia:
The Settlers (Spanish: Los colonos) is a 2023 revisionist Western drama film directed by Felipe Gálvez Haberle (in his directorial debut), who co-wrote the script with Antonia Girardi in collaboration with Mariano Llinás.
The movie portrays a trio of characters (Segundo, a Chilean mestizo, MacLennan, a Scottish veteran, and Bill, an American mercenary) on an expedition on horseback in 1893 to delimit and reclaim the lands that the State has granted to José Menéndez, a sheep farmer and businessman.
What appears to be an administrative expedition turns into a violent hunt for Onas, the natives of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. The Selk’nam genocide lies at the core of the film.
The Settlers had its world premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2023. It competed for Un Certain Regard and Caméra d’Or, and alongside those was honored with the FIPRESCI Prize, becoming the first Chilean production to win that award.
The movie can be watched on Mubi.
The movie features a beautiful and consistent use of a single font, Axel Grotesk, in all caps, across its title screen, end credits and posters. Chilean studio Buena Suerte executed the whole design, using a massive amount of the color red as an obvious nod to the bloody violence at the core of the movie.
