We’re delighted to announce that our latest documentary “Parrot at the Milkbar” will celebrate it’s World Premiere at the upcoming edition of Documenta Madrid Film Festival.

The film will be screened twice in the Panorama section of the festival (see below) with a Q & A session with the director to be held after the second screening. Polar Star Film’s previous documentaries to have screened at Documenta Madrid include “Google and the World Brai and “Mañana al Mar”. This is the festival’s 14th edition and will be held at Madrid Matadero’s Cineteca.

DocsBarcelona film festival has also selected “Parrot at the Milkbar”, for it’s upcoming edition at the end of May, so we will not have to wait too long for the Catalan Premiere of the film. This will be the festival’s 17th edition and will be held at various venues in central Barcelona.

“Parrot at the Milkbar”, a feature-length, observational documentary directed by Ines Thomsen, tells the story of four hairdressers and their customers in the Raval quarter in Barcelona’s Old Town. Four small, strange time and space capsules, of people who left their home to find a better one, while the Spaniards are about to leave their own country themselves. The documentary is Ines Thomsen’s second documentary to be produced by Polar Star Films. It is an international coproduction with Filmtank, Germany.
