The Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival will hit the streets this summer to bring viewers a selection of Ibero-American comedies produced in recent years in a cycle that starts with the collaboration of the Huelva City Council and that will take place from July 1 to August 4.
The Summer Cinema of the Huelva contest will offer, in this way, six outdoor films in different enclaves of the city of Huelva, to be announced in the coming weeks, with the aim of offering Huelva residents “the opportunity to enjoy cinema on the big screen after a year marked by restrictions caused by the pandemic”, in the words of the Festival’s director, Manuel H. Martín, who has also highlighted the importance to keep the contest’s programming alive throughout the year.
“For the Festival it is very important to be able to return to the presence and to the projections“said Martín, who has remarked that he is confident that this new cycle” will be the starting point for a new stage full of hope after the logical limitations imposed by the health crisis. “
The films that will be screened at the Summer Cinema of the Huelva Festival are ‘The odyssey of the giles’ (Argentina, Spain, 2019), by the director Sebastián Borensztein; ‘Childless’ (Argentina, Spain, 2015), by Ariel Winogard; ‘A night of love’ (Argentina, 2016), by Hernán Guerschuny; ‘Grandparents: it is never too late to undertake’ (Spain, 2019), by Santiago Requejo; ‘Live twice’ (Spain, 2019), by María Ripoll; Y ‘My dear brotherhood’ (Spain, 2018), by Marta Díaz.
Great names in Ibero-American cinematography such as Ricardo Darín, Maribel Verdú, Chino Darín or Carlos Iglesias, among many others, are part of the cast of the feature films that make up the cycle, some of which have been enjoyed at the Huelva Film Festival in some of its sections.
