HARVEST 2019 During the last months, the most serious and prestigious film festivals in the world have come to realize the youthful vitality and the creative force that emerges from multiple areas of the Spanish cinema: from the realms of new generations and from the circles of the most independent cinema, but also from the undisputed talent of © manolo pavón Pain and Glory. Pedro Almodóvar already consolidated authors with a long projection abroad. The opening of that window is not the result of chance. The access to those essen- tial industrial and cultural showcases is a consequence of a reality and a collective impulse that is clearly visible indoors (in Spanish film festivals, cultural circuits and screens), but which also raises the interest of critics, programmers and festivals from all around the world. The first months of 2019 account for that growing visibility. It became already evident at the demanding appointment of Rotterdam, in whose Tiger Competition was included the newest movie by Carlos Marques-Marcet (Els dies que vindran / The Days to Come), while in parallel sections were Lluís Miñarro with Love Me Not © roman yñán Liberté. Albert Serra (selected in the Moscow Festival immediately after this), Andrés Duque (Carelia. Internacional con monumento) and Isaki Lacuesta, whose Entre dos aguas (Between two Waters; winner of the Golden Shell in San Sebastián) was picked for the occa- sion, while at the same time the Spanish-Uruguayan coproduction Belmonte, directed by Federico Veiroj, also found a place at the Dutch event. Immediately after, the great encounter of the Berlinale opened a space for Isabel Coixet’s Elisa y Marcela (Elisa & Marcela) to compete in its International Competition, which also picked two short films: Irene Moray’sSuc de síndria and Ion de Sosa & Chema García Ibarra’s Leyenda dorada. At the same time, another woman (Neus Ballús, with Staff Only) was greeted in the Panorama section, while Culinary Cinema Fire Will Come. Oliver Laxe screens hosted Y en cada lenteja un dios (A God in Each Lentil), by Miguel Ángel Jiménez, whose next work (Sumendia) is already in post-production. Meanwhile, overseas, the prestigious indie event South by Southwest (Austin; USA) summoned 7 razones para huir (7 Reasons to Run Away), by Gerard Quinto, Esteve Soler and David Torras. Finally, Spanish cinema comes back this year with honors and with a triple presence to the big festival in Cannes, with a movie selected at the competitive Official Section (Pedro Almodóvar’s latest film,Dolor y gloria / Pain and Glory, critically acclaimed in Spain) and two more within the frame of Un Certain Regard: Albert Serra’s Liberté and Oliver Laxe’s O que arde (Fire Will Come). Spanish cinema will also be present Je te tiens. Sergio Caballero at the Director’s Fortnight, with the short filmJe te tiens, by Sergio Caballero, and one coproduction with Perú: Canción sin nombre (Song Without a Name), by Melina León. The path cannot be wider: Spanish cinema has been present at the official selec- tion of the three biggest festivals of the first semester (Rotterdam, Berlin, Cannes) and the list of filmmakers summoned to their most important sections (Carlos Marques-Marcet, Lluís Miñarro, Andrés Duque, Isaki Lacuesta, Isabel Coixet, Neus Ballús, Irene Moray, Ion de Sosa, Chema García Ibarra, Pedro Almodóvar, Albert Serra, Oliver Laxe...) allows us to see an invigorating generational range in which experience and youth, international prestige and hope for the future, avant-garde aesthetics search and splendid creative maturity that goes hand in hand within an Song Without a Name.
