Frontera by Judith Colell selected for SEMINCI

FRONTERA by Judith Colell - with an OST by Liesa Van der Aa - is selected for SEMINCI

Colell's latest film starring Miki Esparbé, María Rodríguez Soto, Asier Etxeandía, Bruna Cusí, Jordi Sánchez, Kevin Janssens and Joren Seldeslachts will have its world premiere at the 70th edition of the 'Festival International de Cine de Valladolid' (SEMINCI - 24 Oct-1 Nov) before its theatrical release in Spanish cinemas on 12 December.

With 'Frontera' Judith Colell rescues a little-known episode in Spanish history in Frontera, a production by Coming Soon Films (ES), Diagonal (ES) and Bulletproof Cupid (BE): the blockade of the border with France, following pressure exerted by Hitler’s government on Franco’s government to close the border to people, many of them Jews, fleeing across the Pyrenees during the Second World War. The director of Nosotras o Elisa K draws inspiration from real events to tell the story of how a group of inhabitants of a small village in Catalonia (played by Miki Esparbé, Bruna Cusí, Jordi Sánchez and María Rodríguez Soto) helped a group of refugees to sneak into Spain.

The historical thriller features an intriguing original score composed by Liesa Van der Aa (Cargo, Augure, Les recommencements)...OST album coming soon!
