Spain’s Málaga Film Festival Cancels Julio Hernández Cordón’s ‘The Day Is Long and Dark’


Málaga Film Fest has canceled the participation of Julio Hernandez Cordon’s vampire pic ‘The Day is Long and Dark’ in the festival.

In her letter to them, which Bustamante shared with Variety, she pointed out that Hernández Cordón had written to them on Feb. 13 bout the incidents, where he assumed responsibility for his actions, expressed remorse and outlined his commitment to make amends. “I recognize that I made mistakes but while my reputation is now tarnished, what worries me more is how it has impacted my ability to provide work to more than a 100 people each time I make a film,” Hernandez Cordon told Variety. Four women detailed instances of physical and emotional abuse on the Las Landetas website, an anonymous group of professionals within the Mexican film industry aimed at shedding light on the violence in places of instruction and work.
