Beginning back in 2001 as the Festival de Cine y Deportes de Sevilla the latest edition of the European Film Festival kicks off in Seville tomorrow with the opening ceremonies and a screening of Stephen Frear’s latest film, Tamara Drewe. Stephen Frears will receive an honorary award this year and his fabulous first film The Hit (1983) – set in Spain – is also being shown throughout the duration of the festival.
The basic objective of the Seville European Film Festival is to promote European film culture, with particular attention to emerging European cinema, and to help incorporate new support for film expression. At the same time, it will foster works by new directors and also by established artists, making it possible to present a broad perspective of the most recent, significant productions at an international level. The Festival also provides an annual meeting place for the European film industry.
The programming is structured around competitive sections and special non-competitive ones.
Below are links to the Festival de Sevilla home page for the daily agenda and to an A-Z list of the films being shown. Screenings will take place at the Lope de Vega theatre and the Nervion Plaza cinema.
Today the Cine de Verano at the Diputación de Sevilla (Puerta de la Carne) opens for another summer of watching films under the stars. It’s a fabulous venue inside a beautiful palace patio and there is even a bar at the back serving drinks and snacks. Most of the films are shown dubbed into Spanish (pet peeve of mine) but on Sundays there are subtitled original version films.
