Bradford International Film Festival: The 'Other' Spanish Cinema

El futuro

    The 20th edition of the Bradford International Film Festival ran between the 27th March and 6th April 2014 at the National Media Museum with a diverse programme of films from around the world, including retrospectives of James Benning, Brian Cox, and Sally Potter, and Close-Up sections on producer/distributor Charles Urban, and the crime films of Yoshitarõ Nomura. I managed to catch a bit of (almost) everything but had timed my visit specifically to see the three Spanish films playing at the festival: Un ramo de cactus / A Bouquet of Cactus (Pablo Llorca, 2013), El futuro / The Future (Luis López Carrasco, 2013), and Costa da Morte / Coast of Death (Lois Patiño, 2013).  
   You can read the rest of my report on the 'other' Spanish cinema that screened in Bradford over at Mediático.

    I am intending to write about all three films here as well, probably starting with Luis López Carrasco's film (it's 67 minutes long, but I only scratched the surface in that report) at some point in the next couple of weeks.

Costa da Morte / Coast of Death (Lois Patiño, 2013)

Costa da Morte
At the end of last week I headed to the 20th edition of the Bradford International Film Festival for a few days, namely to see the three Spanish films that were screening - El futuro / The Future (Luis López Carrasco, 2013), Costa da Morte / Coast of Death (Lois Patiño, 2013), and Un ramo de cactus / A Bouquet of Cactus (Pablo Llorca, 2013) - although I saw quite a range of films while I was there.
A post about all three Spanish films will appear at Mediático next week but in the meantime I have reviewed my favourite, Costa da Morte, for Eye for Film.
