Films From Afar
As a travelling caravan of cinematic treasures, the Festival of New Spanish Cinema takes a cache of modern films from its namesake country, and showcases them throughout a spread of North American film centres. This is the festival’s fifth year, and it comes bearing five films, faring from the Goya-award sweeping No Rest for the Wicked to Sleep Tight, a creeping horror flick from the same director that crafted [REC]. Before its Edmonton opening, Vue caught up with festival director Marta Sanchez to discuss the festival’s genesis. Though stuck in Puerto Rico, denied a trip back to New York by Hurricane Sandy, she seemed in chipper spirits. There are worse places to be stuck, after all.

Sleep Tight Opens Festival of New Spanish Cinema
As a film critic, it’s easy to fall prey to “movie overload.” After all, three or four movies a week (minimum) is enough to send any sane person over the edge. Cue foreign films, cloaked in mystery (no publicity overload) and more often than not… great actors and storylines (what a concept!) No matter how many Adam Sandler movies I have to sit/sleep through, I can always look forward to something new and exciting (with subtitles!)
