Atlàntida Film Fest previewing 6 films

It’s organised by the streaming platform Filmin, directed by Mallorcan Jaume Ripoll and its focus is Europe.

Filmin has released six films, which have already premiered either in Spain or the Balearic Islands.

‘Last and First Men’ by Jóhann Johánsson, had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and features Tilda Swinton.

‘Moffie’ by Oliver Hermanus was presented at the Venice Film Festival and described as a masterpiece by Variety Magazine.

A documentary by Yung Chang follows in the footsteps of the legendary British Journalist Robert Fisk, one of the leading chroniclers of global conflicts of the last 40 years.

‘Photographer of War’ by Boris Bertram, is a portrait of War Photographer Jan Grarup.

‘The Diver’ is Directed by the Austrian Günter Schweiger, stars Álex Brendemühl and was shot in Ibiza.

‘The Site of Otto’ is actor Oriol Puig’s Directing debut and features Iñaki Mur, Joana Vilapuig and Nora Navas.

The festival will also offer a full retrospective of Aleksey Balabanov, one of the leading names in Russian cinema with screenings of 13 feature films.

Music always plays a big part in the Atlàntida Film Fest, and two names have already been confirmed in its concert schedule.

María José Llergo will perform her first recital in the Balearic Islands and the Catalonian singer and composer, Pavvla, will present some of her new songs.
