2010 gave us a unique batch of films in Emilio Aragon's Paper Birds, Achero Manas's Anything You Want, Jordi Cadena & Judith Colell's Elisa K. and festival circuit favorites in Javier Mariscal & Fernando Trueba's Chico y Rita, Guillem Morales' Julia’s Eyes, Iciar Bollain's Even the Rain, Andrucha Washington' Lope and Alex de la Iglesia's nutty concoction The Last Circus (Balada triste de trompeta), but 2011 will be one hell of a ride.
Xavi Giménez, a respected director of photography (Ágora) who collaborated with the company in several occasions (Transsiberian, The Machinist) has been given directing duties for the first time with Yellow. This drama, about a single father who enrolls his problematic son in an educational center that uses extreme treatments to realign the personality of its patients, is currently finishing principal photography and will be released by the end of the year.
