Featuring famed directors such as Argentina’s Ariel Rotter and Spain’s Benito Zambrano, who have not only played but won at Berlin and San Sebastian respectively, Malaga’s 19-pic out of competition strand is a testament to the buyer-driven pulling power of Malaga , thanks to its significant market.
Multiple other name auteurs pack out the selection, which also includes a far stronger line is broad audience comedies than most festivals would risk.
This is certainly territory for discoveries and breakouts – a healthy Málaga tradition.
A brief drill down on titles:
“La Bandera”
Director: Martín Cuervo
“La Bandera,” produced by Álamo Producciones Audiovisuales and Idesia Films, humorously unfolds a family’s inheritance dispute, in the sense that sons, Aitor Luna and Miquel Fernández, aren’t getting what they expected from their father played by Spanish veteran actor Imanol Arias.

CBS Studios has expanded its international co-production slate to include projects in Australia, Spain and France. These productions include “Gold Diggers” from Australia, and “Electric Years” from Spain and France.
“Gold Diggers” is produced by CBS Studios with The Alliance (a Stampede Ventures and Kojo Studios joint venture) for The ABC in Australia. It is set in 1850s Gold Rush, Australia. Thousands of men from around the world flock to the country to hit the jackpot, and so do two women in search of their own jackpot: newly rich idiots. Gert, a heavy-drinking sociopath, and Marigold, her virginal, dummy sister, are willing to do anything to get their fortune; but first they must suffer the lads, lice and lechery of outback Australia. Jack Yabsley serves as writer.
While hiding near the French/Spanish border, Campano, a mysterious wanderer and fugitive on the run, turns a group of artists into sophisticated art thieves.

CBS Studios has teamed with Damon Wayans Jr to create a Baltimore-set version of its African drama MTV Shuga for streaming sister company Paramount+ and is co-producing shows in Australia and on the France-Spain border.
Shuga: Baltimore will follow the lives of six people seeking to find beauty in their futures while surviving in the rapidly tech-gentrifying Maryland city. Billed as a “hyper-surrealist tale,” the show is now in development, with Greg ‘Mellow’ Brown’ writing.
Wayans Jr. and Kameron Tarlow are co-producing through their Two Shakes Entertainment banner, with Paramount Global and MTV Staying Alive Foundation’s Georgia Arnold, Sara Piot and Richard Warburton sitting alongside them as executive producers. Mellow is a co-executive producer.

With a knack for forming tight bonds with rightfully-elusive subjects, Spanish filmmaker Kike Maíllo, who shot to fame with sci-fi debut “Eva,” takes an engrossing and sympathetic look into haute-crime as it pertains to one of the world’s preeminent art forgers, Oswald Aulestia Bach.
In “El Falsificador,” Maíllo hones in on the deviance, excess, and deterioration of a con, deconstructing a cult of personality along the way by following Aulestia Bach, a gifted artist in his own right, and two accomplices, Elio Bonfiglioli and Michael Zabrin, as they recount forging and distributing dupes of Picasso, Joan Miró, and Salvador Dali while raking in millions.
Throughout the film, family members, reporters and law enforcement officials appear near-jovial while recounting the case and how much the international syndicate accomplished before the FBI caught wind of the scheme close to a decade later.

But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor.

A power game between an architect and the woman who insists on telling him her story captivates in Kike Maíllo’s English-language debut
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” That’s the Saint-Exupéry zinger with which star architect Jeremiasz (Cold War’s Tomasz Kot) closes a Paris lecture, after describing his conversion to designing buildings with a social purpose. But the unsound psychological foundations, and the cost, of perfectionism are the theme of this well-written, devious Euro-thriller.
Grabbing a taxi to catch a flight back to Poland, Jeremiasz lets improbably named twentysomething Texel Textor (Athena Strates) hop along for the ride. She’s so intent on chatting that she leaves her luggage on the street, and both of them end up missing their flights. Jeremiasz settles in for a two-hour wait in the Charles de Gaulle airport extension that,...

Shot in one take over an action-packed night, “Nightride” is laced with dry humor and follows a smalltime dealer, Budge, as he tries to pull one last deal with cash borrowed from a dangerous loan shark.

"You think this is a game?" Brainstorm Media has released an official US trailer for a mysterious new film titled A Perfect Enemy, made by Catalonian filmmaker Kike Maíllo. This originally premiered at last year's Sitges Film Festival in the fall, and arrives on VOD in the US starting this June. A successful architect meets a mysterious, chatty young woman at the airport, causing him to miss his flight. They strike up a conversation that grows stranger and more twisted until it turns deadly. It has a vibe that reminds me of something like Under the Skin meets Promising Young Woman. Starring Athena Strates, Tomasz Kot, and Marta Nieto. This looks like a much darker, more twisted revenge tale than Pyw with strange reveals in the backstory. I'm intrigued to find out what's going on and what kind of tricks she's playing on this guy. Here's the official trailer (+ poster...

Spain might be very well-known for its fantasy and horror films, but it has also proven that it can master thrillers. In 2014, Alberto Rodríguez' Marshland was (almost) everyone's favorite after its premiere at the San Sebastián Film Festival and ended up scooping 10 Goyas. Looking at its thrilling trailer, Toro might follow a similar path. Shot in the legendary region of Almería, Toro is the sophomore feature film by Kike Maíllo, whose first effort was the very promising robot drama Eva (2011). The script is co-written by Fernando Navarro (Anacleto: Agente secreto) and Rafael Cobos, who penned Marshland along with its director. Here's a synopsis: Toro is completing a two-year sentence in prison for a robbery where he seriously wounded a police officer, a...

The line between humans and robots has been walked by, among others, "Blade Runner" and "A.I." as well as this year’s releases "Chappie" and "Ex Machina." The list gets even longer when we add films that tackle the "can a human be a computer?" question, like the excellent "Her" and the less excellent "Transcendence."
Add to this genre "Eva," which takes place in an alternate reality where humans and robots live side by side. This alternate reality is also 2014, but the movie was made in 2011. This being 2015, the film has become the past’s look at an alt-future that is also, now, the past.The film, from Spain, has been picked up by The Weinstein Company to run in selected theaters starting March 13.

There's a lot of artificial intelligence hitting the big screen this year. Next week brings Neill Blomkamp's Chappie and in April we have Alex Garland's Ex Machina followed by The Avengers: Age of Ultron in May. Well, next month The Weinstein Company will bring another into the mix with Eva. This is the first time the film is coming to the United States, but it opened on screens overseas all the way back in 2011. Daniel Bruhl (Rush, A Most Wanted Man) stars in the film as a cybernetic engineer tasked with giving emotional intelligence to the first robot child. But he has to learn a bit from his brother's daughter Eva first. Watch! Here's the Us trailer for Kike Maíllo's Eva from The Weinstein Company: It's 2014. Humans live along with machines.

A.I. at the movies is suddenly a hot topic with Neill Blomkamp's "Chappie" and Alex Garland's "Ex Machina" around the corner, and The Weinstein Company want to be part of the conversation. First released in 2011 internationally, the studio is now bringing "Eva" to theaters stateside and the first U.S. trailer has arrived. Directed by Kike Maíllo, the movie is set in an alternate, slightly more futuristic present day where the challenge for science doesn't seem to be creating artificial intelligence, but emotional intelligence. But as always, playing God has its consequences. Here's the official synopsis: The year 2014. Humans live along with machines. Alex, a renowned cybernetic engineer, returns to Santa Irene to carry out a very specific mission for the Robotic Faculty: the creation of a child robot. During his ten-year absence, life has moved on for his brother David and Lana, who got her life back together after his departure.

José Coronado, No Rest for the Wicked Pedro Almodóvar didn't have much luck at the Spanish Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Goya Awards this evening in Madrid: Almodóvar's The Skin I Live In won a total of four Goyas, but none for its director/writer. Starring Antonio Banderas as a plastic surgeon, Elena Anaya as his captive woman, and Jan Cornet as the good-looking young man whom the doctor blames for the death of his daughter, the sex-bending mystery melodrama won Goyas for Best Actress (Anaya), Best New Actor (Cornet), Best Original Music (Alberto Iglesias, his tenth Goya win), and Best Makeup/Hair. [Full list of Premios Goya winners/nominations.] Instead of the internationally renowned (and BAFTA winner) The Skin I Live In, the 2012 Goyas' big winner was Enrique Urbizu's No habrá paz para los malvados / No Rest for the Wicked, the story of a murderous, corrupt cop.

Madrid -- Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In led the pack Tuesday when Spain’s Film Academy announced nominations for the Xxvi Goya Awards, snatching nods in 16 of the 28 categories, followed by Enrique Urbizu's thriller No Rest for the Wicked with 14 and Kike Maillo's directorial debut Eva with 12. The 16 noms end a period of chilly relations between Almodovar and the Spanish academy, which he quit years ago citing irregularities in voting and repeated snubs. "Pedro will be delighted with the news of so many nominations," Skin producer and Pedro's brother Agustin Almodovar told the Spanish

Each year the Sitges Film Festival commercial spot is almost as eagerly awaited by the general public as its lineup, and Rafa Antón, creative director of the China agency and the man responsible for its campaigns over the last ten years, has presented this year’s commercial, entitled "Alter Ego". In addition, the preliminary lineup for the Festival has been revealed, but it's not complete by any means. More will be announced throughout the month.
Antón presented the commercial at the Velodrome, property of the brand, along with Festival director Angel Sala and one of Sitges 2011’s partners Moritz Beer.
As explained at the presentation of the Sitges 2011 posters, artificial intelligence is this year’s central theme, represented through the geminoids created by professor Ishiguro in Japan.

Emile Hirsch worshipping at Venice's red carpet
This is my last report from Venice which I'm writing from Athens. During my last two festival days I caught five films ranging from great surprises to total mediocrities.
Quando La Notte
This little Italian romantic drama about a troubled young mother and a mountaineer would have benefited immensely by trimming 15 minutes from its running time. The last reel or so of the film is totally unnecessary and unfortunately shows of Cristina Comencini’s weaknesses as both screenwriter and director. The two stars, Filippo Timi and Claudia Pandolfi give very good performances, but they weren't enough to save the film from the Italian critics who just massacred it. Interesting subject matter, mediocre film.

Last autumn we posted a promotional teaser for Kike Maíllo's great looking Eva which featured a robotic girl being taught at a table along with some future technology which looked pretty spectacular. The film started shooting in December with Inglorious Basterds star Daniel Bruehl in the lead role of Álex, a cybernetics engineer who is asked to work on a very special project: creating a robot child.
This shiny teaser for the film gives us a first look at Bruehl in action, putting together what I can only assume is the cybernetic equivalent of the soul and then we see the robot wake up as Eva, Álex’s young niece, looks on in awe.
Though the teaser does little more than show a short clip, the film promises a “story of return, re-encounters and loss.” I’m getting a bit of an A.I.: Artificial Intelligence vibe, mostly because of...

We were asked just two days ago to remove the embeds of the promo teaser from our article. The promo showed a robotic girl being taught at a kitchen table, along with some great future tech which included a robotic cat and looked utterly stunning. Now, word comes via Variety that Daniel Bruehl (Inglorious Basterds) will be headlining with the script written by Sergi Belbel, Maillo, Marti Roca and Aintza Serra. This will be Kike's first feature length film, and it has a big budget for a Spanish film: 6million Euros. Production will start in December in Switzerland with sales being repped by Wild Bunch.
Synopsis:
A meller with futuristic overtones, "Eva" sees a shy young genius (Bruehl) employed by his former university to design robot software. Action unfolds in a mountainous region, which could be the Pyrenees, given that characters speak in Catalan and Spanish.
More as it comes!

Very little is known about this film, in fact, I still think it's in development and I'm not sure if the footage we have was a short film or some type of promo reel, but regardless, it's a coming of age robot tale with some pretty slick looking tech and we have 3 minutes of footage after the break to give you a taste! And yes, it's going to be a feature. If any of our Spanish speaking readers could translate we'd greatly appreciate it!
Update: Special thanks to reader qtarantino who made a video with English subtitles, it's embedded after the break.
