Underscoring the Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest’s commitment to fostering young, upcoming talent, its five-year-old Talent Lab (Amtl) for projects in development will be complemented by a new Works in Progress (Wip) section for projects in post.
The new Wip aims to give young creators the tools and opportunity to bolster the promotion of their audiovisual projects and secure local and international distribution.
On July 27 and July 28 in Mallorca, six projects in post-production will compete for €15,000 at the new Wip. Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest’s industry component is backed by Media Europa Creativa Catalunya and organized in collaboration with the Seville European Film Festival, the Gijón International Film Festival and the Albacete Film Festival (Abycine).
Both sections are designed as mentoring, training and acceleration labs for each of the areas. In addition, participants will have access to the festival’s robust industry events and experience the festival itself.

Spain’s national film archive Filmoteca Española has discovered in lockdown what could be the country’s first talking movie directed by a woman filmmaker (via The Guardian). The film is an eight-minute documentary titled “Mallorca.” The black-and-white short film is composed of various shots from across the Balearic Islands locale and is inspired by the music of composer Isaac Albeñiz. “Mallorca” has been sitting in Filmoteca Española’s library since 1982 wrongly labeled as being directed by a man. Film archivists took another look at the documentary while in lockdown and discovered the filmmaker is a woman named María Forteza.
“We were looking at what we had on hard disk and when we sat down to watch the film we went, ‘Hang on! This doesn’t fit together properly,’” said national archive head Josetxo Cerdán. “The most surprising thing was seeing that a woman’s name came up as director.
