IFFI to host international premiere of Spanish film

Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura’s film The King Of All The World will be the opening film at IFFI’s 52nd edition. This will not just be the India premiere of the film, but its international premiere as well. Sources say, “The film was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) only for business. This is the international premiere of the film.”
The King Of All The World is a musical drama, which shows the artistic and musical connections between Spain and Mexico.The film, which is written and directed by Carlos Saura, has a cast of stellar actors and dancers from both the countries. In addition, award-winning Italian cinematographer Vittorio Storaro who has won Oscars for Apocalypse Now (1979), Reds (1981), and The Last Emperor (1987) has joined Saura for this film. In January, the 51st edition of the IFFI honoured Vittorio Storaro with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Earlier this year, the 51st IFFI’s opening film Another Round (Danish: Druk) won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film 2021, and BAFTA Film Award 2021 for the Best Film Not In The English Language.
The film festival will be organised in Goa from November 20 to 28.
