Screen’s deputy editor Louise Tutt is joined by Spain correspondent Elisabeth Cabeza, who talks about which films are going down well with festival audiences, particularly their reaction to Los Javis’ awards-season hopeful, La Bola Negra, which had its local premiere at the festival.

Then Screen’s Europe editor Tim Dams speaks to Spain Film Commission president Juan Manuel Guimeráns Rubio about the economic impact of government investment on the local industry and why big international films, including the Tomb Raider series, a live-actionTangled, and Woody Allen’s new feature, are heading to Spain.
