Connected film festival attendees learned about Pedro Almodóvar before everybody else, especially if they had an understanding of new developments in Spanish cinema. Film school had shown us nothing but the very exceptional work of Luis Buñuel, most of which is really from Mexico and France. In the 1980s we Angelenos were just getting access to films by the old-school ‘traditional’ rebel Spaniards Carlos Saura and Juan Antonio Bardem.

MADRID -- Signaling the beginning of a new film season, the 11th annual Malaga Spanish Film Festival kicks off Thursday with a lineup that offers a slate of premieres from first-time directors and seasoned veterans.
"(The festival's) strength is in having the means necessary to turn the festival into one ... capable of showing off almost the entire range of formats produced by the Spanish industry," festival director Solomon Castiel said in an interview. "And all of it complemented by markets that are growing in importance."
This year's official competition cranks up with Gutierrez-Aragon's controversial "Todos Estamos Invitados" (We're All Invited), about a Basque terrorist suffering from amnesia.
The Festival de Cannes' Guy Braucourt will head the official jury, comprising musician Bernardo Bonezzi, magazine editor Charo Izquierdo, New York Film Festival director Richard Pena, Spanish producer Mate Cantero, actor Juan Diego and director Eliseo Subiela.
While the official lineup may serve as fuel for the Spanish boxoffice in the coming months, parallel markets will offer a wide variety of locally made film, TV and documentaries.
