Film Festivals
From San Sebastián to Málaga, several Spanish cities have their own film festivals. One of them, in fact, is on par with the most important in the world. Do you know which one we’re talking about?
Gorka Otxoa
This Basque actor is one of the protagonists of the successful 'Alpha Males' series, which invites us to reflect on what it means to be a man in the 21st century. And it does so through humour, turning laughter into its best ally.
Spanish film in 2022
‘The Beasts’, ‘Lullaby’, ‘Alcarràs’, ‘Prison 77’ or ‘Manticore’ are just some of the great films that the Spanish film industry has released in 2022. Given this display of talent, we must ask ourselves: is this the best year ever for Spanish film?
Edu Soto
Playing Willy Wonka, the leading role in the Spanish version of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, is Edu Soto’s latest challenge. He leads the audience into a fantasy world where everything is possible.
Dani Tatay
Each person chases their dreams in their own way, some take it step by step while others go by leaps and bounds. This is the case of actor and dancer Dani Tatay, currently playing the lead role in ‘Dirty Dancing’.

Santiago Segura
It seems that Santiago Segura has one purpose in life, to make people laugh. And he’s been hell-bent on it since 1998, when ‘Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law’ came out. Now, he’s back on the big screen with ‘Father There Is Only One 3’.
Alauda Ruiz de Azúa
The Spanish film industry has a new rising star, and indeed, as is becoming the norm in recent times, it’s a woman: Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. According to Pedro Almodóvar, 'Lullaby' (original title: 'Cinco lobitos') is “the best debut in years”.
