Catalonia: Industry Makeover
After large success with small films, Catalonia’s ambitions are rising with larger-scale movies, international partners, higher end series.
One case in point is Swiss-Peruvian Klaudia Reynicke’s Sundance hit “Reinas,” a “poignant early-’90s Peruvian drama,” mixing “grounded wonder and realism for a cleverly written family story,” said an upbeat Variety review. Thanks to it we could board ‘Memorias,’ push on with the project and its co-financing acted as a guarantee when we applied to and won Ibermedia,” the Ibero-American co-pro and distribution fund,” says Estephania Bonnett Alonso, of Barcelona’s Playlab Films. Carlos Marques-Marcet (“10,000 KM”) is readying a tragicomic musical, “They Will Be Dust.” Isaki Lacuesta has “Saturn Return,” and Palomero’s “Destellos” is produced by Mod Producciones (“Agora,” “While at War”), Inicia Films and Misent; Marcel Barrena’s true events inspired social mobilization tale “The 47,” is backed by The Mediapro Studio.
