Part of the Focus on Spain Strand
A selection of award-winning films made in Galicia and shown at the most prestigious film festivals worldwide. From fiction to documentary to experimental, these works explore the traditions, modern urban spaces and rural landscapes of Galicia. Including Álvaro Gago’s ode to feminism, Matria; Santos Díaz’s playful The Policy Line; and the one-of-a-kind and hypnotic Fajr by Lois Patiño, set in the Moroccan desert. The UK premiere of Sandra Sánchez’s mysterious The Blue Child; Diana Toucedo’s poetic Men; and Jaione Camborda’s Wild Mane Crop, shot entirely in Super8, complete this programme, proving Galicia is at the forefront of current filmmaking.
