DARKBLUEALMOSTBLACK WINS THE LABEL EUROPA CINEMAS 2006
09/09/2006
The film by Daniel Sànchez-Arèvalo wins the third Label Europa Cinemas to be assigned to one of the movies selected for Venice Days. The prize will ensure to the film the promotion and long-lasting exhibition on the 1562 screens of the network, as well as 5 copies of the film offered by Technicolor.
The jury issued the following statement about the winning film:
“We were all very impressed indeed by the strength of the films selected this year for the Giornate degli Autori/Venice Days. It made our decision very hard, but Azul Oscuro Casi Negro’s highly original screenplay and direction, particularly impressive for a first time director, really struck us.
It is a subtle and very human comedy, very well played, and achieved with a delightful light touch, which shows great respect for the characters.
We believe that this film demonstrates the strength of European cinema and has the potential to succeed and captivate audiences not only in cinemas around Europe but also beyond.”
Directed and written by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, Azul Oscuro Casi Negro (Dark Blue Almost Black) stars Quim Gutiérrez, Marta Etura, Antonio de la Torre, Héctor Colomé, Raúl Arévalo, Eva Pallarés, Manuel Morón, Ana Wagener and Roberto Enriquez, with José Antonio Félez serving as Producer.
