Festival Focus - Phase 5
Every year we have an extremely strong contingent of Spanish submissions, and this year is no exception. In total we have ten films from Spain in the final programme and I would encourage you to watch every one of them. Amongst the very best is Phase 5 directed by Carles Valdés, a superb short about the process of grief.
Actress Raquel Alcalá is excellent as Anna, a bereaved woman who has lost her partner to a motorcycle accident. There’s real palpable anguish in the physical performance of Alcalá as she portrays someone going through each stage of grief – from denial to anger, to finally something approaching the first steps of acceptance and healing.
Phase 5 is showing on Wednesday 25TH May at 1.30PM
