Latido Swoops on San Sebastian Premiere ‘As Silence Passes By,’ One of Spain’s Awaited Feature Debuts of 2024 (EXCLUSIVE)


An exposé of small town family conflict in Spain’s deep south, ‘As Silence Passes By’ premieres at San Sebastián's New Directors strand.

Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland” “straddles the border between fact and fiction, enlisting real people to play poetically embellished versions of themselves in order to reach a deeper truth,” said a Variety review. Delivering a candid portrait of the huge challenge of co-dependency in lower income families, at the same time through sister María and their friends, the film also gives a highly non-romanticized vision of life in a small town. Also producing are José Nolla’s classic production house Icónica, behind Toronto Fipresci prize winner “El Autor,” and Amaya Izquierdo’s Auna Producciones.
