The setting for “The Head” Season 2, the second part of one of Spain’s biggest breakout hits, is a massive ocean freighter at the Pacific Ocean’s Nemo Point, the most remote place on earth, 1,681 miles from land.
The set for many of its interiors, including the freighter’s high-tech research lab, is slightly more accessible – Villaviciosa de Odón, 8 miles from central Madrid. A set visit on Wednesday said much about one of Spain’s biggest upcoming TV swings, now building into a franchise. Following, six takeaways:
Sell it Again, Sam
Many series only move into profit in their second season. That’s most probably not the case of “The Head,” whose first instalment has already hit gold dust, selling to over 90 countries, including HBO Max for the U.S, for producer The Mediapro Studio. Other buyers take in best-of-class players: HBO (Latin America and HBO Asia), Starzplay, Canal Plus (France), Amazon’s Prime Video,...

Warning: This short film is not for the squeamish. If you happen to be squeamish and you want to test how serious I am about my warning … well, it’s your lunch, not mine. If you think you’re not the squeamish type, then this film will seriously test you. The film is Snip, directed by Julien Zenier. It’s about … well, this is one of those films that’s probably better if you don’t know what it’s about beforehand. But, I’ll just say that it’s a difficult and brutal film and leave it at that.
Back in 2008, the Spooky Movie Film Festival sent me a copy of the film for a review, which I did. As I wrote back then, it was difficult for me to watch the entire film and, really, I didn’t watch it in full again for this post. I think...

So just over two years ago I ran an article about a Spanish short film written and directed by Julien Zenier titled Snip. As it turned out we were the first to do a write up and as the story goes a couple weeks later, because of our article, Snip was invited to its first festival. Thus began a successful festival run as word spread about Zenier`s savage and punishing short film. It is the feel good story of the day!
And now that the festival run has been completed Zenier has made his short film available online and you can watch it after the break.
Glued to his TV set, a man channel-surfs frenetically, zapping from one stultifying show to the other. As he grows more and more indifferent to the constant stream of violent and crude images, he stands up and engages himself in an unspeakable act of self-liberation.
