WITH ITS OWN LIGHT'. Andalusian film series.
During the month of February, the Fundación Tres Culturas wishes to recognise and highlight the work of the professionals who, in different fields, raise Andalusian cinema to a prestigious position, winning numerous awards and nominations at the most important festivals, both nationally and internationally.
The efforts of these professionals, their creativity and their own vision of the world have managed to penetrate the fabric of the general public and their productions are applauded and celebrated beyond our borders.
Directors, producers, actresses, actors, screenwriters, scriptwriters, and a whole cast of professionals who demonstrate their expertise on a daily basis, providing their work with great quality and thematic variety, often with tight budgets.
Cinema made in Andalusia is crossing borders and, despite the difficult situation of the film industry, Andalusian cinema is managing to create its own space with more and more light and applause.
