Some of these works are “Ecuador”, “Más Arriba de Todos”, “Mujeres de la Mar”; “Bocagrande”, “Lembranza” and “La Habitación de Fondo” (based on the Canarian poetess Pino Ojeda).
National works will also be screened, with the remarkable presence of professionals such as Luis Ivars, Lucas Vidal or César Benito, as well as the participation of ascending composers like Ginés Carrión, Luis Hernaiz, Josué Vergara, Alberto de la Rocha, Iván Capillas or Iván Ruiz Serrano.
