Welcome to another edition of the most vibrant film festival of the year.
Take your seats, make yourselves comfortable, and above all, don't blink, at least not too much if you want to catch the best independent cinema in the world! From cold Finland to the hot Arab Emirates this year we have received true prodigies of the seventh art from all corners of the planet; we have laughed, cried, but above all, we have become enthralled by brave, daring, and diverse cinema, because that is the power of our art, to be able to tell the same story over and over again, but from different points of view and in a very personal way. We've had everything from strong female leads looking to save the world to broken men whose family environment have been completely shattered. We've had a variety of themes, but without a doubt, parent-child relationships have stood out above all others. The filmmakers have opened up the channel to bring out everything they have inside, showing us their inner world and transferring it through environments as different as the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, to the quiet beaches of New Zealand, or even to uninhabited and hostile worlds! But cooked the way we like it, over a slow fire to achieve an EXPLOSION of feelings, sensations, and emotions that can make a real volcano explode, LITERALLY! From worrying visits to the doctor to alien invasions, in MAGMA, we are lovers of cinema, whatever its ingredients are, and we give the value they deserve to our filmmakers. So I won't keep you any longer; let yourselves go, put on your seatbelts because this is starting, and in the next few days, we promise you will experience a UNIQUE journey because our directors will be able to throw an arrow straight into your heart so that you will never forget them. And that is what MAGMA is about, a film festival capable of making a real IMPACT on its spectators. Are you ready for the eruption? |
