Acid Rain by Tomek Popakul
New streaming platform FILMPIXS is set to launch globally on 17 February with a primary focus on short films and feature-length documentaries that “will spotlight engaging social impact stories and new voices in filmmaking”. Content on the site is set to be curated from a number of festivals – amongst them Cannes, Venice, Toronto and Sundance – and the platform is due to be made available globally (though a small selection of titles may be geoblocked), and come with both monthly and annual subscriptions. The streaming service will be available via its own website, filmpixs.com, as well as via the FILMPIXS app, available on iOS, Android and other formats.
Este año, la Sección Oficial de Punto de Vista se organizará en 10 programas donde se proyectarán películas que exploran una gran diversidad de temas, desde observaciones de lo doméstico y lo cotidiano, el paisaje y las psico-geografías, hasta reflexiones sobre la historia, violencia de género o compositoras de música experimental. Además, también habrá películas que destacan por su uso de archivos fotográficos y documentales. La Sección Oficial ha sido programada por Nuria Cubas, María Palacios, Matías Piñeiro, Miguel Zozaya y Garbiñe Ortega.
Las películas han sido seleccionadas entre más de 900 inscripciones y provienen de países como Nigeria, India, Japón, Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, España, Bélgica y México entre otros. Todas ellas son fieles al espíritu con el que nació el festival, captar la realidad desde su punto de vista independiente y necesario.
