European entries A Storm Was Coming, For the Time Being and The Trouble with Nature also departed triumphant from the fifth incarnation of the Galician festival. Back for a fifth year, the Novos Cinemas Pontevedra International Film Festival (15–20 December) rose to the challenges of 2020 with a hybrid format, combining screenings at the Teatro Principal de Pontevdra and on the streaming platform Filmin. This year’s programme shone a special spotlight on filmmaker Luis López Carrasco (The Year of Discovery), with the honour of opening the proceedings granted to Lois Patiño’s Lúa Vermella. Six days packed with screenings, activities and discussions concluded with this year’s closing film, My Mexican Bretzel by Nuria Giménez Lorang. The Official Jury, comprising filmmakers and programme directors Pela del Álamo, Elena Duque and Nuria Giménez herself, ultimately bestowed the Novos Cinemas Award for Best Film in the Official Selection to There Will Be No More.
