[FROM MONDAY 11th OF NOVEMBER TO THURSDAY 14th OF NOVEMBER, 6:00PM-7:00PM-8:30PM. Teatro Salón Cervantes]
Open Screen
The first feature films by the directors who screened the festival with their shorts have a special place at ALCINE.
- The Blue Star TICKETS
- The atypical biopic of Mauricio Aznar, singer of the rockabilly band Más Birras, authors of the legendary Apuesta por el Rock and Roll popularized by Héroes del Silencio, on his journey of self-discovery through Argentina. One of the revelations of the year, an Academy finalist to represent Spain at the Oscars® and an authentic hymn to music and life.
- A Whale [Pre-release] TICKETS
- Prominent author of the so-called "low cost generation", a regular at the festival with his self-produced shorts and feature films (Cabás, Berserker...). His first industrial feature, recently released in Sitges, is a very solid commitment to author thrillers with fantastic elements. Echoes of David Fincher, Jonathan Glazer, Hideo Kojima's video games and the poetics of Melville (both Herman and Juan-Pierre) in the story of a professional assassin played by an icy and silent Ingrid García Johnsson.
- The Human Hibernation [Pre-release] TICKETS
- The debut of the artist Anna Cornudella is a science-fiction parable that presents us with a world in which humanity is in a state of underground hibernation from which it only emerges once a year to visit a surface taken over by nature. A slow reflection on the human condition shot in one of the photographs of the year.
- A Suburban Mythology [Pre-release] TICKETS
- Espírituescalera, the collective responsible for The Coming Insurrection (ALCINE 52), premieres with a brief and concise exercise halfway between documentary and fiction that explores the architecture and lives of the Madrid suburbs. He chose the orange brick and the green awning that won the Audience Award in the last Documenta Madrid.
- The Undergrowth TICKETS
- Macu Machín delves into the deep countryside of the Canary Islands with a story of inheritances and buried friction between three elderly sisters. 70 minutes of extreme naturalism and a side of the archipelago barely represented in the cinema.
- As Silence Passes by [Pre-release] TICKETS
- Sandra Romero's debut based on her short film of the same name and premiered at the latest edition of the San Sabastián festival. A young man returns from the capital to his town in the province of Seville to face, among other problems, the illness of his twin brother. An unknown and surprising cast with which words are unnecessary.
- El aspirante TICKETS
- The recent news about abuse in senior schools served as an excuse for director and producer Juan Gautier to revisit and update his 2015 short film (AMA and performance award at ALCINE 45) until transforming it into his first feature film. Pure intensity led by a young cast in which the Goya nominee Jorge Motos and the emerging Patrick Criado (The Great Spanish Family, Nights of Tefía, The Red Virgin) stand out and who won the first prize at the last Atlántida Film Fest by FILMIN.
