The Gran Canaria-based gathering is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a programme also partially viewable on Filmin, while its Mecas market will unspool its fourth edition. The Filmin platform continues to be a key ally in these pandemic-riddled times, and the Las Palmas International Film Festival, which is being held physically (while adhering to the requisite health-and-safety measures in order to avoid infections) on Gran Canaria, has made a sizeable portion of its programme available on said website. The gathering, which kicks off on Friday 9 April, will continue unspooling until the 18th. Ten features will be duking it out for the Golden Lady Harimaguada Award in its Official Section: standing out among them are Goodbye Mister Wong by Kiyé Simon Luang (France/Laos), which tells a story based around a lovers’ tiff; Exemplary Behaviour by Audrius Mickevicius and Nerijus Milerius (Lithuania/Bulgaria/Slovenia/Italy); the documentary No Kings (Brazil/USA/Italy) by Emilia Mello; Radiograph.
