MORE ON THE FESTIVAL

Festival Director Natalia Ortiz has lovingly selected the 2012 programme of films from prestigious festivals around the world. 15th anniversary festival highlights include: AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT (La chispa de la vida) starring the captivating Salma Hayek – from the 2012 Berlinale and named the jewel of the Tribeca Film Festival by Indiewire - about an out-of-work publicist who suffers an accident and plans to sell the exclusive interview rights to the highest bidder in an attempt to provide for his family; insomnia-provoking thriller SLEEP TIGHT (Mientras duermes) starring a pitch-perfect Luis Tosar (Cell 211) as an apartment block concierge in Barcelona who turns on the inhabitants after dark; and the endearing drama CHINESE TAKE AWAY (Cuento chino), set in Buenos Aires and starring celebrated Argentinean actor Ricardo Darín (The Secret in Their Eyes) as a solitary man compelled to take in a Chinese lodger.
