Two movies which come in on immigration from vastly different angles – Laura Ferrés’ “The Permanent Picture” and Ken Loach’s “The Old Oak” – won big Saturday night at Spain’s Valladolid Festival, walking off with its main competition Golden Spike and the Spanish event’s best actor (Dave Turner) and Audience Award plaudits respectively.
The prize ceremony also saw Charlotte Rampling, star of closing film “Juniper” from Matthew J. Saville, accept an enthusiastically applauded Honorific Spike for her career achievement.
Though decided upon by independent juries, Valladolid’s prizes say much about the new-fit festival after a first-year reboot by new director José Luis Cienfuegos, previously a Gijón and Seville fest head.
Under directors Fernando Lara (1984-2004), Juan Carlos Frugone (2005-08) and Javier Angulo (2009-2022), Valladolid has consolidated as one of Spain’s biggest festivals, after San Sebastián. and a bastion of auteurist, arthouse independent cinema. Few figures in Europe...

The Indonesians have a concept called nongkrong. To nongkrong is to meet and talk, preferably in large groups, and about nothing in particular. I first came across it last summer on a trip to Documenta, a contemporary art fair that’s taken place since 1955 in Kassel, in Germany, but only once every 5 years. The festival’s new curators were ruangrupa from Indonesia, a collective that almost never produces physical works, instead creating spaces for meetings and discussions: a kind of nongkrong as installation. Every room that you walked into at Documenta was full of nongkrong: bits and bobs on the floor, idea bubbles, and word maps on the walls, artist statements that ran a country mile. The festival estimated that the culminated work last year was the product of no less that 1,500 participants. The results were lively and cacophonous. I felt next to nothing.

In the run-up to Locarno, Paris-based MPM Premium has swooped on world sales rights to “On the Go,” a showcase of the acting talents of “Elite’s” Omar Ayuso, Omar in Netflix mega-hit “Elite,” playing in “On the Go” a Grindr addict with vengeance in his heart.
Set to world premiere in Locarno’s Cineasti del Presente, “On the Go” also has a first trailer, shared in exclusivity with Variety.
The trailer captures much of the spirit of the freewheeling road movie through an Andalusia of music, dance, sex and sensuality –though none of the film’s nudity – of a feature, written-directed by Maria Gisèle Royo and Julia de Castro, which revisits from a female perspective an extraordinary Andalusian feature, 1982’s “Corridas de Alegría.”
