The six feature films will also be screened today (19 June) to French distributors during the Rendez-vous à l'Opéra! organised by Ciné+, the ICEX and Espagnolas in Paris. While Small is Biútiful will also be taking place on Wednesday 27 June and will be presenting French professionals with a selection of Spanish projects in search of international co-production partners, distributors and sellers, an event which Cineuropa will be covering in more detail at a later date.
