The International Film Festival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, due to be held between 9 and 18 April 2021, will offer, from 24 October 2020 onwards, sessions of two full-length feature films and one short one, which may be viewed always on Saturdays at the ‘Cinesa el Muelle’, fortnightly for the rest of this year and monthly in the year 2021.

The activity, presented as “Efecto Cinema”, recalls film titles planned for the edition which had to be cancelled because of the Covid-19 crisis and combines some more recent ones that still haven’t been shown with classics & cult movies rarely projected on the big screen.

The programme returns on Saturday 5 December at the ‘Cinesa El Muelle’ featuring two great titles from Eastern Europe; the new production by the Ucranian director Sergei Loznitsa, State Funeral (2019) and the classic Trenes rigurosamente vigilados (Closely watched trains)(1966) by the recently deceased Czech film director Jiří Menzel.
