Heading the outfit’s scripted lineup is “Karateka,” Señor y Señora co-founder Aritz Moreno’s third feature after his Efa nominated breakthrough debut “Advantages of Travelling by Train” and dark thriller “Moscas” which bowed at Sitges and Rotterdam.

Budgeted at over €6 million ($6.5 million), “Karateka” tells the larger-than-life story of Spanish karate queen and Olympic gold medallist Sandra Sánchez.

Netflix has ordered another Spanish film, My Dearest Señorita, and unveiled a first look at upcoming dram series Superstar at an event in Madrid.

My Dearest Señorita, produced by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, is an adaptation of the 1972 Oscar-winning film of the same name directed by Jaime de Arimañán, who co-wrote the script with José Luis Borau starring José Luis López Vázquez.

The 1970s film was a romantic drama that explored themes of intersexuality, and was one of very few to tackle sexual orientation in General Franco’s ultra-conservative Spain. It won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 1973 Oscars.

“My Dearest Señorita is an adaptation,” said Calvo and Ambrossi in a statement. “Times have changed, and we believe it is a good time to revisit this story, a story of gender identity and wonderful, mainstream love. The creative challenge is how far we can update it without losing the essence.

"You are not welcome." Sony Pictures has debuted a US trailer for the Spanish horror film Veneciafrenia, set in the iconic Italian town of Venice.

Filmmaker Fernando Trueba, of the Oscar-nominated feature Chico & Rita (2012), will present his latest project, They Shot the Piano Player, directed alongside Javier Mariscal in the fest’s Special Screening sidebar.

Ingrid García Jonsson in Ana De Día

Ana De Día (Ana By Day), showing as part of this year's Viva! Spanish and Latin American Film Festival, begins with one of those experiences that are vanishingly rare in real life but quite common in cinema: a woman discovering that she has a double. Then it does something quite different from other stories of its ilk, focusing on what its heroine goes on to do with her life. When director Andrea Jaurrieta agreed to talk about the film, I began by asking her if she felt that it was important to set aside concerns about why the double existed so that she could concentrate on less-explored themes about identity.

"Yes," she says. "The question about the double is just like a 'trigger' for the story. In fact there's kind of an ambiguity about this double: does she exist?...

Exclusive: Chavela Vargas documentary sells to Us and France.

Madrid-based sales agent Latido has scored key territory deals on Chavela, the documentary by Catherine Gund and Daresha Kyi which premiered at this week’s Berlin Film Festival in the Panorama strand.

The documentary about iconic Mexican singer Chavela Vargas has gone to Bodega Films in France and The Film Collaborative in the Us. A deal has been closed with Portugal (Leopardo Filmes), and Latido is reporting interest from Israel and Germany.

A bidding war is underway between two companies in Spain, which comes as no surprise considering the popularity of Chavela Vargas’ music in the country. Her songs are closely related to Pedro Almodóvar’s films and the director had personal involvement in the singer’s revival in the later years of her career.

Further titles on Latido’s line-up to have inked deals include Spanish war film Rescue Under Fire, which is set...

Click here to read our french "Sweet Home" movie review, directed by Rafa Martínez with Ingrid García Jonsson, Bruno Sevilla, Oriol Tarrida Homedes.The plot is situated in a daily environment: a couple decides to spend a romantic evening in a floor of a semi-abandoned building that slip because she works as a consultant for the council house and got the keys. During the evening they discover that a hooded murderer is the only tenant left in the building...and they have become the new target....

The first trailer for Rafa Martínez's Sweet Home suggested some horrific things to come but the movie's plot was still mostly a mystery. What we could discern from our first look was that it involved a couple, an abandoned building and some unwelcome party crashers.

With the movie's Spanish release due in a few months, a new trailer, this one expanding on the plot a little more, has been released and it looks very promising indeed.

The movie stars newcomer Ingrid García Jonsson as Alicia and Bruno Sevilla as Carlos, a couple who decide it's a great idea to celebrate his birthday on the top floor of an abandoned building but it turns out they're not [Continued ...]...

For a while we've been glancing some tidbits from Rafa Martínez's directorial debut Sweet Home. From the images and the fact that this is produced by Carlos Fernández who is best known for producing the [Rec] franchise, one could assume what was in store with Sweet Home but the trailer clears up any misconceptions.

Ingrid García Jonsson (recently seen in the excellent drama Beautiful Youth) and Bruno Sevilla star as a couple who seem to be hunted down in their apartment building. There was a synopsis kicking around the interwebs about some party celebrations in an old apartment building but it seems to me that [Continued ...]...

★★☆☆☆Screening in the Un Certain Regard sidebar at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Jaime Rosales' Beautiful Youth (2014) aspires to a gritty realism but its narrative slackness make it a gimmicky and occasionally complicit portrayal of Spanish love on the dole. Carlos (Carlos Rodríguez) and Natalia (Ingrid García Jonsson) are a young couple, both without work and both living with their mothers - their fathers being largely out of the picture. They go from day to day, bored and listless except on the occasions they go out for a night with their friends. Carlos gets some money working for his friend's father on a building site. But the work is cash in hand - not a great deal of cash at that - and sporadic.
