Discover a surreal fair in this tragic-comedy by Ricardo Íscar. We are pleased to announce the world premiere of THE LAST FAIR, medium-length documentary produced by Polar Star Films in collaboration with Ricardo Íscar and Alê Paiva,
at the renowned festival Seminci of Valladolid on October 25th at 19.30h.The film is in competition in the Best National Documentary Doc. Spain section.
THE LAST FAIR reflects on the business of death, awash with cleverness, black humour and seduction. Spanish and Portuguese companies from the funeral sector meet every year in Ourense to show off their latest products and services, mindful of the 7 billion future clients that will face this fateful moment sooner or later. There are diamond-studded and mink-lined coffins, hardwood urns, Swarovski crosses as gifts and luxury cars for a high-class public. No, in death we are not all equal, although obviously it comes to the rich as it does the poor in the end. In THE LAST FAIR, morbid fascination, dread and curiosity are washed down with cava and Iberian ham.
