, a key gateway into Spain for recent European movies, celebrates its 18th edition honoring German-Spanish actor-director Daniel Brühl .
Seville’s figures – 225 films, 90 Spanish premieres, six competitive sections, more than 500 guests and around thirty parallel activities – confirm the event’s solidity and projection as a major cultural gathering in Spain and a reference for the European industry. As an industry meeting point, several international organizations will attend the festival in Seville, such as the sales agents org Europa International, cinema network Europa Cinemas and training workshop EAVE.
Thus, the European Co-production Forum, created alongside Andalusian film producers’ association Ancine, aims to boost Spanish co-productions with European countries, focusing every year in one country – Germany, this year – after having successfully invited Italy and Portugal in prior editions. Having won the Seville’s Golden Giraldillo Prize for best film in 2005 with “The Beat that My Heart Skipped” and the Audience Award for “A Prophet” , French auteur Jacques Audiard will open the 18th edition with Playtime-sold film “Paris, 13th District.”Also a regular visitor, France’s Mia Hansen-Løve vies for the Golden Giraldillo award with Tim Roth-starrer “Bergman Island,” which Kinology has sold to Avalon for Spanish distribution.
