El BIFFF está muy ibérico!!

No need to dwell on Spanish clichés and commonplaces to praise the merits of the country. Especially when you know that Spain produces no less than 41% of the world’s olive oil and that they comes in second in terms of European exporters of artichokes. No small feat! But there’s more… Spain has more festivals than days in a year, they invented the submarine and statistically there’s a bar for every 129 inhabitants. Impressive, no? And when they put this sort of drive and determination into the 7th Art, you get some pretty hard-hitting cinema, which shockingly only received one Palme d’Or – for Buñuel’s “Viridiana” in 1961 – but of course muchísimos Golden and Silver Ravens at the BIFFF!
