EL ÚLTIMO ARREBATO – ENRIQUE LAVIGNE AND MARTA MEDINA JULY 15
This documentary by the Spanish filmmaking duo offers an insight into the past through the ayes of those who experienced it, bringing us closer to the story of Iván Zulueta's "Arrebato", a cult classic in Spanish cinema. The film, which foreshadows the end of "La Movida", is a dark, raw piece of work whose narrative and behind-the-scenes story are intimately interwined. Arrebato serves as a premonition of the filmmaker's own life. Like its protagonists, Zulueta would end up ravaged by drugs and cinema, ultimately disappearing as they did.

FAME – GIACOMO ABRUZZESE & ANGELO MILANO
“Fame”: an urgent need to eat. This term is associated with the Fame Festival, a revolutionary event that, between 2008 and 2012, brought some of the world's greatest street artists to the town of Grottaglie in Puglia: from Blu to Conor Harrington, via Erica il Cane, Os Gemeos, Escif and Vhils. This documentary takes us back to the origins of the festival, which emerged at a time when street art had not yet become mainstream and whose emergence changed the city's identity forever.
