Laurent Danielou’s Paris-based sales agent Loco Films has swooped on “Last Days of Spring” (“La Ultima Primavera”), a Spain-set first feature from Isabel Lamberti that will world premiere this Sept…
The Spanish festival’s main sidebar, New Directors highlights first and second features from helmers in Europe and beyond that often go on to strong festival play and sometimes fulsome sales.
“Last Days of Spring” does so to a tee. Written by Lamberti and Lenina Ungari, and produced by Amsterdam-based IJswater Films with Spain’s high-flying, it uses non-professional actors and a documentary aesthetic but fictionalized narratives, as Lamberti observes, to portray the emotional dislocation wrought on the sprawling Roma Gabarre Mendoza family, by the news that they will soon be evicted from their shanty town community at Cañada Real, just outside Madrid.
“Each character has to say goodbye to an important part of themselves and therefore learn, sometimes in a harsh way, who she or he really is and how she or he relates to the world around them,” Lamberti wrote in a director’s statement. “Last Days of Spring” is produced by Steven Rubinstein Malamud and Marc Bary for IJswater Films, co-produced by Tourmalet Films’ Omar Razzak and executive co-produced by Tourmalet’s Mayi Gutiérrez Cobo.
