José Luis López-Linares, Javier Rioyo
90 min.
To commemorate the year of Luis Buñuel's centenary, two of Spanish cinema's great documentary-makers decided to put together a work about this director and thus make him known to new generations. López-Linares and Rioyo sought out friends, collaborators and relatives of the genius from Calanda, images which they edited together with fragments of his films and historic documents to obtain an interesting, entertaining and, particularly, useful work about Luis Buñuel.
Daniel Calparsoro
90 min.
A strange triangle of passion and emotional dependence unites Lucía, Chino and Charly: three desperate young people with no future, lost in a sweltering city where the asphalt sticks to your feet and your soul. Calparsoro portrays an unusual Madrid, that tourists don't get to see, that his three actors blend into like figures in a romantic landscape.
Miguel Albaladejo
81 min.
In his third film Albaladejo constructs a comedy with 14 characters paired off two by two. Seven couples speak, meet, and split up. An experiment on film featuring a cast of magnificent actors. Among these the couple formed by Elvira Lindo and Geli Alabaladejo, who already appeared in his two previous films, La primera noche de mi vida & Manolito gafotas, is outstanding.
Eduard Bosch
105 min.
A splendid Ingrid Rubio, who won an award at the Malaga Film Festival for this performance is Arian, a young idealist involved in the political struggle who is forced to hide in a safe house. It is from this moment on that Arian starts on a journey of no return. One of the most interesting debuts in Spanish cinema during the last year.
Juan Pinzás
93 min.
The first Spanish film to adhere to the Dogma 95 movement led by the Dane Lars von Trier. Ten years after they split up, a group of friends who studied journalism together meet up again in one of their homes to recall their experiences. Just one weekend will be enough to completely change their apparently peaceful lives.
Carlos Saura
104 min.
The way that Carlos Saura has approached the figure of Goya with the help of Vittorio Storaro and Paco Rabal, is far removed from the indulgent academic viewpoint. Goya in his old age in Bordeaux recalls scenes from his youth, when he knew the fascinating Duchess of Alba. The Italian's camerawork and the representation by La Fura dels Baus provide the best possible interpretation of the painter's nightmares.
Jaume Balagueró
102 min.
One of the most disturbing directors of short films in Spain (Alicia and Días sin luz) makes his first full-length film with a dark story with sinister overtones. Emma Vilarasau, Karra Elejalde and Tristán Ulloa are the central figures in this investigation in which horror seaps out of all its pores.
Joaquín Jordá, Núria Villazán
97 min.
Taking the life of the Portuguese Nobel prize-winner Egas Moniz, who was the man who invented the lobotomy, as a pretext, Jordà shows what the day-to-day life of patients in a mental hospital is like. Reality and fiction are mixed together in a film that is impossible to categorize by one of the most unorthodox directors in Spanish cinema.
Mateo Gil
108 min.
The first full-length film by Mateo Gil, who is well-known for his work as Amenabar's scriptwriter and for his short films, is based on a novel by Juan Bonilla set in Seville during the final Holy Week of the millennium. Its main character is Simón, a young man who is drawn by his friend Sapo into a dangerous role game that ends in tragedy. A duel on screen between Eduardo Noriega and Jordi Mollà.
Alfonso Albacete , David Menkes
106 min.
Alfonso Albacete and David Menkes have joined forces with Lucía Etxebarría to write a story that is right up-to-the minute. A long way from the night-time settings of their early films, this time they have focused on a young woman faced with an extreme situation which she manages "to survive". Emma Suárez is unquestionably the star of this story in which friendship plays a very important role.
