Last Film Show (India/France), a film directed by Pan Nalin, has gone home with the Golden Spike from the 66th Valladolid International Film Festival – Seminci. The feature is a tribute to celluloid, starting with the story of a boy whose life is turned upside down when he sees a film for the very first time. “It’s a struggle to make movies that have significance and substance, and in the case of this specific project, it was difficult to secure the funding and distribution,” remarked the Indian filmmaker.

by Neus Ballús, a film based on real-life situations that portrays the day-to-day life of three workmen from a small plumbing and electrical company. “I wanted to convey the fact that we have to think about how to coexist, and about how we’ll be able to get along with each other – or not – from our respective different realities. I was scared on many occasions during the process; I thought we had been too ambitious, but I’m happy that I didn’t throw in the towel, I took a long-term view and I took a risk,” explained the director, who also picked up the Audience Award in the Official Section.
