The 17th Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival\u2019s first day is opened by the Canarias Cinema section\u2019s competing feature films. Screenings at the Monopol Multiplex will begin in the morning, from 10 a.m., with these two titles: The Vanished Dream<\/em> <\/strong>(Jos\u00e9 S. Betancor, Spain, 2016, 77 min.) and Mares\u00eda<\/em> <\/strong>(Dani Mill\u00e1n, Spain, 2016, 96 min.).<\/p>\n

This section of the festival is far from being, in the programmers\u2019 opinion, a sponsorship\u00a0of local production: \u201cThere are true filmmakers in the Canaries\u201d<\/em>. There is a generation who express themselves, both in the feature and short film format, with the means in reach; a “digital generation” of the local cinema depicted\u00a0in the selected five feature and twelve short films, out of which\u00a0The Vanished Dream<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will start the screenings on Friday, March 31 (10 a.m.). This documentary by Jos\u00e9 S. Betancor<\/strong> focuses on Guinea Bissau\u2019s independent process in 1974 and the testimonies of the European volunteers who moved to the African country at that time. The film, with a significant international run, has already been screened at the African Film Festival of Dallas, the Arusha African Film Festival, the MiradasDoc, the MIDBO and the Wales International Documentary Festival.<\/p>\n
