With films by such veteran filmmakers as Juan Luis Iborra, Javier Fesser and Gabriel Velázquez shown side-by-side with cutting edge debut productions from the newest generation including Albert Arizza, Irene Cardona, David Planell, Santiago Zannou, and Miguelanxo Prado, there is much to relish in this year’s festival. Presenting new and outrageous interpretations of classic genres including melodrama, thriller and animation, this year’s styles range from superb examples of Spain’s offbeat thrillers like Ramirez and the brutal, wrenching fairy tales Camino and De Profundis, to socially engaged cinema like A Fiancé for Yasmina or One-Armed Trick.
Other special events – More than just great cinema!
This year’s festival promises more than just great cinema. We’ll host Q&A screenings with visiting filmmakers, an online short film festival available HERE, a family film screening with the classic animation De Profundis. As a surprise, we will precede each screening with a presentation from Teaserland.com, an entertaining online festival which features fake movie trailers by well known directors such as Isabel Coixet alongside up-and-coming filmmakers. There’s something for everyone!
