Seville Festival

The Festival announces the first seven films in competition, a selection that condenses the creative power of the European cinematography. 'It Must Be Heaven', 'Synonyms', 'God exists, her name is Petrunya', 'The Whistlers', 'Sibyl', 'Atlantis' and 'The Bears’ Famous Invasion of Sicily' invite viewers to come to theatres and recover their passion for cinema as a collective and enriching experience.
