La Faena is a film production company based in Caracas and Toronto founded by Jorge Thielen Armand and Rodrigo Michelangeli. We are committed to a cinema that questions reality through introspection and strong points of view, with special interest in contemporary Venezuelan identity.

Our films, all international co-productions, have been recognized and exhibited at world-class festivals.
