‘They Will Be Dust,’ ‘Black Dog’ and ‘The New Years’ Headline Impressive Valladolid Program


The lineup of films at Valladolid's 69th edition is jam-packed, so we've picked out ten that attendees won't want to miss.

Italy’s submission to the upcoming International Feature Oscar race, Maura Delpero’s intimate epic “Vermiglio,” which took the Venice Film Festival’s Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, is set in a village in the Italian Alps at the end of WWII, where the arrival of a soldier causes a stir between three sisters. In this debut feature documentary, a film crew travels across northern Spain, following in the footsteps of the clandestine journey undertaken by the Cantacronache music group who, in the summer of 1961, collected popular songs of resistance. Energized by a pulsating orchestral score by Zeltia Montes, an unsettling film which takes Maria to the High Pyrenees as she tries to understand her feelings which, Coll suggests are outside our moral compass but much more common than imagined.
