The Filmin platform continues to be a key ally in these pandemic-riddled times, and the Las Palmas International Film Festival, which is being held physically (while adhering to the requisite health-and-safety measures in order to avoid infections) on Gran Canaria, has made a sizeable portion of its programme available on said website. The gathering, which kicks off on Friday 9 April, will continue unspooling until the 18th.

by Swiss helmer Thomas Imbach and the short film Naturaleza muerta by Spaniard Carolina Astudillo. Other sections include Panorama and Panorama España, which scour the festival circuit for titles, in addition to Linterna Mágica and Déjà Vu, where there will be no lack of references to Chris Marker as the event marks what would have been his 100th birthday. This edition will also dredge up 25 works that have a particular significance for the festival, and they will serve to remind its loyal attendees of the gathering’s idiosyncrasies as well as giving the younger audiences some hints as to the nature of a rendezvous that is turning 20 and has spent all that time following a programming policy based on film as art.

Besides this, between 10 and 13 April, both the Elder Museum and cyberspace will play host to the MECAS market. Nine titles have been chosen as finalists in the Cine Casi Hecho sidebar, intended for films at the post-production stage, and they will be vying for a prize worth €8,000. They are: Spain’s La mala familia [+leggi anche:
