Spain’s Stellar Cannes Presence Clouded by Uncertainty as Industry Champion Domingo Corral Exits Movistar Plus+
Spanish cinema thrives at Cannes, but uncertainty looms as Movistar+'s Domingo Corral exits, prompting industry-wide gratitude and concern.
A chorus of nearly 150 prominent figures from the Spanish entertainment sector, including modern icons such as Pedro and Agustín Almodóvar, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, and Alejando Amenábar have publicly expressed their gratitude and concern in an open letter. In light of Domingo Corral’s departure as Director of Fiction and Entertainment at Movistar Plus+, after ten years working to bring Spanish films and series to the top of the national and international audiovisual scene, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to him and his entire team. During a decade that has been revolutionary in the sector, thanks also to Telefónica’s commitment to the creation of original content, Domingo Corral and his entire team have championed an idea, a project based on respect for creators, close collaboration with independent producers, and listening to all the partners they have worked with, without ever neglecting their focus on entertainment.
