Few figures in the Spanish film industry dress as formerly, or as well, as Malaga Intl. Film Festival director Juan Antonio Vigar. But then he takes his job very seriously indeed. While many other Spanish festival directors have more or less maintained the formats of their events, Vigar has innovated constantly since taking over in 2013. The result is a bouquet of industry initiatives which only San Sebastian can equal in Spain, and which channel the key pivots in Spanish-language production at large: The gathering sense of one common production market in Spain and Latin America; the two-way street with drama series production; the primacy of talent.
Variety talked to Vigar in the run-up to its 2020 Spanish Screenings:
The key direction in which you’ve taken Malaga is “apertura,” an opening up, whether in its geographical ambit or types of titles….
Cultural initiatives must be reset from time to time, to allow them to breathe,...

Becoming a We: Marques-Marcet Keeps it Real with a Micro-Drama of Love & Pregnancy

Without missing a beat, and going for the raw, unfiltered intimacy that you can’t falsify, the three of them commit the experience with The Days to Come — a linear but powerful journey from discovery to birth.…...

After his impressive work helming B, la película, the filmmaker is shooting his new David Verdaguer-starring feature, a drama on education and values that has secured Media backing. On 1 July, the shoot began in Barcelona for Uno para todos (lit. “One for All”), a film being directed by David Ilundain, who made his debut with the controversial political flick B, la película, which earned him a well-deserved nomination for the Goya Award in the Best New Director category in 2015. Now he is getting stuck into a drama about education and values starring the increasingly sought-after David Verdaguer, an actor who is currently still on the cinema listings thanks to his performance in I Can Quit Whenever I Want – the most successful comedy of the year at the box office – and one of the year’s most critically acclaimed movies, The Days to Come, directed by his good...
