It's pronounced Rashou-ela
Rayuela Productions is an independent production company based in Brussels dedicated to creative documentaries and auteur cinema. We love films that are subtle in substance and powerful in form, transcending cultural and social boundaries. Films that examine the world and reveal the impact of politics on the intimate.
We work closely with passionate and committed creative filmmakers from all walks of life, with whom we build lasting relationships. Rayuela Productions was founded in 2014 by producer and director Laurence Buelens. Our productions have been selected worldwide for festivals such as Hot Docs and Dok Leipzig and have been nominated multiple times for the Belgian Academy Awards.
Despite all the warnings about the difficulty of pronouncing it for non-Spanish speakers, the name Rayuela stood out as the obvious choice.
Just like Cortázar’s masterpiece that inspired our name, we seek to multiply viewpoints and bring new perspectives to light for an engaged audience.
Rayuela is also the title of a Gotan Project song, which opens with the most perfect pronunciation of our name.
