Talents to Track on the Canaries’ New Film Scene
From Marta Miró, Omar Razzak and María Pulido figure into the list of creatives steadying the ever-expanding homespun industry.
Studios that call the Canary Islands home are curating top talent to further diversify their audiovisual offerings, luring and retaining creatives dedicated to costume design, sound, production, animation and editing. An industry semi-vet, Miró won the 2016 Goya best production director-plaudit for her work on Isabel Coixet’s Juliette Binoche-led title “Endless Night.” She also line produced “Nights in Tefía,” an award-winning drama series from Miguel del Arco, set within a long-shuttered concentration camp in Fuerteventura reconstructed from scratch in Tenerife. A founding partner at Tourmalet Films, he merges production, art direction, and writing savvy, plunging into a diversified portfolio that includes Goya-nominated “La Prima Cosa” and Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s first feature “Stockholm.” Upcoming projects include two dystopian animated titles from Madrid’s Blanca Bonet and Cuba’s Gabriela Fernández Galán, an emerging concept from award-winning Spanish-Lebanese filmmaker Laila Hotait and documentary titles, “Muchedumbre,” from Colombia’s Felipe Rugeles and “Yo Terrateniente,” from Argentina’s Rodrigo Demirjian.
