Facing the Wind, directed by Meritxell Colell, has been awarded the Silver Jasmine Branch for Best Film in the ZonaZine section at Malaga.

The Malaga screening of Facing the Wind was the Spanish Premiere of the film. The director, actors Mónica García and Concha Canal, and executive producer Carles Brugueras were in attendance at this world-famous festival and gave Q&A sessions after the screenings.

Film critic Manu Collado described the film as: “one of the most beautiful films I’ve had the pleasure to watch, a truly acoustic and visual poem.”

Previous ZonaZine Best Film winners include Julia Ist in 2017, a film directed by Facing the Wind’s actor Elena Martin.

Facing the Wind will premiere in Catalunya at the D’A Festival, with screenings on 28th April and 3rd of May.  We’ll be announcing more screenings soon.
