Recently, Future Shorts Edinburgh was hosted by the state-of-the-art Inspace. The results of the festival were as good as the pictures that depicted them.

In January 2011 however, CinemaAttic travelled down south to the province of Ciudad Real in Spain, specifically to the historic Almadén – actually meaning The mine, hometown of the most productive mercury mines for 2000 years- to the birthplace of Chico Pereira (1979) to be part of the film production crew for the filmmaker's latest enterprise. Chico Pereira is a newly acclaimed Spanish filmmaker that has developed most of his career in the UK and has just finished an MFA Advanced Film Practice research at Edinburgh Napier University with Distinction thanks to a research on the documentary genre based on Almadén. The resulting film is a moving and innovative narrative that portrays one of the last miners in Almadén who, alongside the inhabitants of the village seeks for an identity brought to an end with the closure fifteen years ago of the once-called The Crown Jewel mines.
Check out the official trailer and keep an eye for the coming film's premiere.
